New special care baby unit opens at Waitākere Hospital

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a new special care baby unit (SCBU) has opened at Waitākere Hospital, which features sleeping spaces for parents.

The old unit at the hospital had nowhere for parents or caregivers and families to stay overnight – they had to sleep in a family room elsewhere in the hospital or at the marae on campus.

The new unit is part of an ongoing upgrade to the hospital site to help meet growing demands for health services in West Auckland.

Inside the new unit is a lounge for people who have just given birth, a separate parent kitchen and dining area, six cot bays with sleeping areas for parents and three dedicated rooms for overnight stays.
