The Garran Surge Centre, also known as the Canberra Coronavirus Field Hospital was a temporary hospital in Canberra, Australia created in response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The hospital was constructed by Aspen Medical,[2] a Canberra-based company with experience managing medical responses to disasters and providing contracted medical services to government agencies in several countries.[3] The facility was located on Garran Oval, a sports field to the northeast of the existing Canberra Hospital campus.[4]
