Wellington Hospital, also known as Wellington Regional Hospital, is the main hospital in Wellington, New Zealand, located south of the city centre in the suburb of Newtown. It is the main hospital run by Te Whatu Ora, Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley (formerly Capital & Coast District Health Board).
The hospital serves Wellington City, Porirua and the Kāpiti Coast District. Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt have a separate hospital, Hutt Hospital, in the Lower Hutt suburb of Boulcott.
Wellington Hospital is the Wellington Region's main tertiary hospital, with services such as complex specialist and acute (or "tertiary") services, procedures and treatments such as the Intensive Care Unit, cardiac surgery, cancer care, cardiology procedures, neurosurgery, and renal care. The hospital is a tertiary referral centre for the lower half of the North Island and the top of the South Island (specifically the Hawke's Bay, Manawatu-Wanganui, Wellington, Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough regions), and for the Chatham Islands.[1]
It is affiliated with the University of Otago, Wellington and the medical and health sciences campus is situated adjacent to the main hospital buildings in Mein St.[2]
