The Shepparton Private Hospital says it will close for just over two weeks during the Christmas-new year period.

A spokesperson for the hospital said it would close at 5pm on Friday, December 22 and reopen on Monday, January 8.

The spokesperson said the hospital closed each year over the festive season.

They said it enabled hospital staff to have a much-needed break while doctors and specialists were on leave, and there were no theatre lists or patients.

The hospital said the measure was only temporary, and all existing services would resume in January.
