New Medical Service in Wairarapa
Manaaki Ki Wairarapa is a new Charitable Trust that has been established to provide after hours acute medical services in the Wairarapa. It has opened a medical centre trading as First Health and Wellness (FHW) located at 10 First Street, Masterton. A gap in medical services was identified because none of the Wairarapa medical centres provide an after hours service during the week. People in the Wairarapa who commute out of the area find it very difficult to get a medical appointment with their GP and it is often difficult for other patients to get an appointment with their GP until the following day.
Many people have to resort after hours to going to the Emergency Department (ED) at Masterton Hospital and for relatively non urgent ailments this can result in long wait times. This put pressure on the ED, but until now patients often have no alternative to seek ED help after 6.00 PM.
First Health and Wellness is a drop in service that now fills that gap in medical services for all Wairarapa residents and visitors and operates from 5.00 - 900 PM Monday to Friday. You do not have to be registered with FHW to get an appointment. You can contact them on 06-777-9070 or e-mail info@mhw.nz.
