Planned ASMS senior doctors' strike — Thursday 1 May, 24 hours
Patient safety is our priority. Our hospitals and emergency departments will remain open. Continue to attend all appointments on the day of the strike unless we have contacted you to reschedule.
National Women's Health provides services across several locations, including levels 9 and 10 of Auckland City Hospital, Greenlane Clinical Centre and Starship Children's Hospital (home to the neonatal intensive care unit). Services include comprehensive maternity and gynaecology care, and a labour and birthing suite.
If you cannot wait to see your usual doctor, nurse or healthcare provider, or you do not have one, go to an after hours or urgent care medical centre. They can help you with things like bad cuts, sprains or breaks, minor head injuries, or if you are feeling really sick. You do not need an appointment but might have to wait.
For all National Women's Health service enquiries:
For labour and birthing suite enquiries:
Find the labour and birthing suite at Level 9, Auckland City Hospital (open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week).
For general appointments:
We receive a high volume of calls in the early morning — call outside of this time if you are able to.
For information about someone who has been admitted to hospital:
We can only give out information about the ward a patient is in and their general condition.
You can request a copy of your patient record or the record of a dependant or whānau member from the clinical records service.
