Western Sydney residents could have access to another 600 hospital beds as NSW Labor promises to deal with a shortage if elected.
The boost will include $700 million to fund 300 more beds at Rouse Hill Hospital.
NSW Labor has been going hard on the government over health funding as it seeks to woo voters at the state election in March.
Opposition Leader Chris Minns pointed to western Sydney's growing population.
"For far too long healthcare in western Sydney has been an afterthought," he said.
"The thousands of people moving into the area every year deserve world class healthcare."
The upgrade at Rouse Hill will also mean the hospital moves to Labor's proposed campus model.
Childcare and healthcare worker accommodation will be on site.
Health workers have held multiple strikes and actions since the COVID-19 pandemic begun in 2020, calling for better working conditions.
