flag Hundreds protest in Northern Ireland, demanding restoration of local emergency surgery services to reduce dangerous rural patient delays.

flag On February 23, 2026, several hundred people protested at Stormont demanding the restoration of emergency general surgery (EGS) services at South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, arguing that relocating the service over 50 miles to Altnagelvin Hospital has created dangerous delays for rural patients. flag Organized by Save Our Acute Services (SOAS), the rally featured community members, patients, and political leaders from multiple parties who criticized ongoing access issues despite claims of improved outcomes following the 2022 changes. flag Protesters emphasized the risks of long travel times and called for political action and funding to reinstate local emergency care, asserting that the decision now hinges on policy, not medical feasibility.
