THE Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital is 75% complete and on track to open at the end of the year.

Hospital CEO Kimberley Pierce said development was progressing well and the plans were to admit patients from December.

"The 200-bed hospital will provide a wide range of medical and surgical services to residents of the Sunshine Coast," she said.

In the coming month, the facade of the building should be finished, along with the wall and ceiling sheeting to all six operating theatres.
