Junior Doctors are on strike next week
Junior doctors at Waikato Hospital and other District Health Boards are striking from 8am on Tuesday 29 January to 8am on Thursday 31 January. Services will be affected as there will be fewer staff on duty. We will be deferring some appointments for surgery, treatments and outpatient clinics and giving priority to an emergency, intensive care and maternity.

Please save the hospital Emergency Department for emergencies.
If your illness or injury is not urgent, you may face long delays. Go to your family doctor or local accident and medical centre
