Mount Carmel Hospital was a private hospital in Churchtown, Dublin, Ireland offering healthcare to privately insured patients[citation needed]. Founded in 1949, it is part of the Mount Carmel Medical Group, which includes Aut Even Hospital in Kilkenny and St. Joseph's Hospital, Sligo.[1]

Specialities provided include dermatology, dental surgery, otolaryngology (ENT), general surgery, urology, obstetrics and gynaecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, pathology, plastic surgery, physiotherapy, and radiology.[2]

In 2002, the hospital received Joint Commission International accreditation.[3]

In January 2014, it was announced that the financial support from NAMA propping up the hospital operations was being withdrawn and a request was made to the High Court to appoint a liquidator.[4] The closure was discussed by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children on 18 February 2014.[5]
