Save our Southern Hospital
Support the Save Our Southern Hospital campaign and help us get the hospital we were promised!
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.

People who don’t live in the South are about to make a decision that will impact our hospital for the next 50 years. We need to tell them to build it once, build it right.
Hosted by MC Kanoa Lloyd (The Project), this free event will give you the opportunity to hear from experts including Registered Nurse Linda Smillie, Dr Sheila Barnett, Dr Mike Hunter and Hon Pete Hodgson. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions of your own.
With special guests including Sir Ian Taylor, Southland Federated Farmers President Jason Herrick and former All Black Paul Miller, and with entertainment from Robert Scott and Norma the Organ, this free event is not to be missed.
There will be a New Zealand Sign Language interpreter at the event, which will also be livestreamed.
