Health Minister Dr Shane Reti says an Overnight Acute Care Service opening in October will provide people in Wānaka and the surrounding area with the assurance of quality overnight care closer to home.
“When I was in Wānaka earlier this year, I announced funding for the area’s first afterhours – a service the community has been calling for for some time,” says Dr Reti.
The new service will be provided by Central Otago Health Services Limited in collaboration with local GPs, St John and Ka Ora, funded by Health New Zealand.
