Our charity hospital provides free elective day surgery services to eligible people within the Wellington region.
Wellington
THE UNMET NEED A comprehensive recent survey of Wellington Region GPs identified significant unmet demand, with the public hospitals unable to meet the needs of all their patients given the priorities and funding constraints of the public health system. This unmet need is borne most heavily by people who can’t afford the cost of private hospital care or health insurance. Most end up putting up with their problems, with their condition often impairing their ability to work, exercise, maintain relationships, or remain independence, and a likely impact on their mental health.
OUR SERVICES The hospital will provide free elective day surgery and outpatient clinics including for those in the Wellington Region community. Services are continually changing to meet the needs of the community and the changing capacities of the public health system. This requires ongoing monitoring of referral patterns and regular communication with the public system and staff.
VOLUNTARY MEDICAL SERVICES All clinical services will be provided voluntarily by surgeons, anaesthetists, specialists medical and nursing staff from across the Wellington Region for free. We are hugely motivated by receiving offers of support from more than 40 medical specialists in Wellington willing to volunteer their time and expertise to help fellow citizens in need.
The purpose is to create a charitable hospital that provides free specialist services for the people of the Wellington region who are ineligible for such care from the existing public health institutions and are unable to afford private medical care.
