Waikato DHB services during COVID-19

Clinic appointments and planned surgery

Acute and trauma procedures will continue to be delivered as well as time critical procedures. If you had a surgery date or a clinic appointment that was postponed you will have been contacted to inform you of this. If you haven’t been contacted and you are unclear about your appointment contact the booking clerk phone number on your appointment letter.

All our hospital Emergency Departments are still open.

It's important to seek immediate help in an emergency - don't delay. If you are injured or experiencing severe symptoms it's critical that you still call 111 or go to a hospital Emergency Department.

Many Waikato DHB outpatient clinics and GPs have moved to telehealth or phone consultations wherever possible and we will be providing additional services soon. We will let you know as soon as new services are available.
