Support the Save Our Southern Hospital campaign and help us get Cliff the ambulance to the Beehive!

Otago

Help us fuel the Save Our Southern Hospital campaign!

With 350,000 people in the Otago and Southland region, the Southern Hospital services the largest region of any tertiary hospital in New Zealand. It has an extensive helicopter rescue service, and it's a teaching hospital that trains thousands of health professionals for all of New Zealand.

The Government is trying to save money by not building the hospital as promised, but it will be the people of the South who pay. We're asking the Government to build it once, build it right.

A decision on the future of the hospital is likely to be made by the end of the year, so we need to act now. Please donate and help us fuel Cliff the ambulance, who will be driving around Otago Southland and then up to Wellington.

All donations will go into a special Save Our Southern Hospital account ring-fenced especially for this campaign. Every donation will help Cliff get closer to the Beehive!

Use of funds

The money raised will go towards the ambulance hikoi, the (heavily discounted) billboards in Wellington, and other activity designed to help save our Southern Hospital.

Penny-pinching doesn’t work out well in the long term. Build what is needed and enjoy the benefits for decades.
