The state government's regional $15 million handout is expected to support regional hospitals and health sites.
The figure equates to just 4.29 per cent of the overall state package.
Yet Premier Steven Marshall boasts how the new plan will "trigger" jobs and provide better health services closer to home through country SA.
However, while the investment is expected to be welcomed in the country, it begs the question about a number of country health facilities which have for years cried out for funds to support their ageing infrastructure.
In the state's north, a demand for a Barossa hospital has been proposed numerous times by both Liberal and Labor parties since the late 1990s, in response to two outdated health sites at Tanunda and Angaston.
Currently, the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network work through their $200,000 hospital business case, promised by the state liberal party prior to the last election.
This is the third business case to support a Barossa hospital.
Within the stimulus package, the ageing Angaston hospital with health sites at Naracoorte and Kapunda hospitals will share $4.5 million for sterilisation facilities.
Similarly, hospitals at Waikerie, Bordertown, Clare, Peterborough and Coober Pedy will be awarded $3 million for the installation of generators and electrical upgrades.
Furthermore, safety upgrades to the tune of $2.5 million will go to health and aged care facilities at Eudunda, Loxton and Kapunda.
Also mentioned under the plan is an additional $5 million to regional aged care facilities and other upgrades - with sites unknown.
State government assured that the projects will kick off within the next few months.
The Premier's optimism continues, saying the regional projects are a "win" for the local economies who prepare for the impacts of coronavirus and recent bushfires.
"While we are not immune from the impacts of this global crisis, I am confident that this package will go some way to assist us in minimising the inevitable shocks to come," he said.
Health and Wellbeing Minister Stephen Wade reiterated the premier, saying the "strong plan" is to protect and prepare the state for the health and economic impacts of coronavirus.
"We have made a firm commitment to regional South Australians to provide better services, closer to home and we are delivering on that promise," Minister Wade said.
The $15 million has been brought forward from the state government's $140 million sustainment works over 10-year program.
