The hyperbaric oxygen chamber at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital has resumed operation.
The Bermuda Hospitals Board said it is in the process of finalising the training of additional attendants and expects to be able to extend its service to elective patients in March.
The chamber is used for medicine as well as diving-related applications.
In December, the BHB said the facility was inoperable due to the unavailability of qualified patient diving attendants.
Unexpected staffing issues forced the chamber to close in February and again in August last year.
