About Sancta Maria Hospital
HMT Sancta Maria Hospital serves patients across Swansea and South West Wales from its modern, purpose-built site in the city's SA1 waterfront district. Run by HMT, a healthcare charity, it provides planned, consultant-led treatment in specialties including orthopaedics, general surgery, gynaecology, urology, ENT and ophthalmology, with outpatient clinics and on-site diagnostic imaging.
Patients stay in private en-suite rooms with dedicated nursing care, and on-site physiotherapy supports recovery after surgery. As a charity, HMT reinvests its surpluses into patient care. The hospital treats insured and self-funding patients, with fixed self-pay prices available for many common procedures.
