A €900,000 grant has been approved by Government to upgrade x-ray equipment at four Donegal Community Hospitals.
The new equipment will be installed in Dungloe, Killybegs, Donegal Town and Carndonagh.
X-ray facilities have also been added at the Ballyshannon Health Campus.
Killbegs Community Hospital will be the first hospital to have the new digital x-ray equipment installed.
The space in the hospital for x-ray is being refurbished and reconfigured to accommodate the new equipment.
A period of time is then required to remove the old equipment, install the new equipment and carry out its commissioning, testing and training.
Therefore the X-Ray Department at Killybegs will be temporarily closed from 15th June 2017 until 15th August 2017 approximately.
During this time period patients for x-ray will be referred to Donegal Town Community Hospital where the full normal service for Killybegs area will be provided.
Subsequently the X-ray equipment at Donegal Town Community Hospital will be updated after Killybegs is completed and up and running.
