Why choose us?

Our distinction

At Wakefield we perform a wide range of diagnostic, interventional and surgical procedures, including cardiac surgery. Regular financial investment into facilities and equipment allows our specialists and staff to practice their profession within a superior medical environment.

Currently our Wakefield Hospital redevelopment is underway. This is a significant investment in the Wellington community, with $130 million committed to substantially redevelop the campus. The facility has been designed to the latest seismic codes and standards, making Wakefield one of the safest hospitals in New Zealand with the use of base isolators.

Our new hospital will provide central New Zealand with access to some of the most advanced medical services and treatment in the country, using the latest medical technologies.

Once completed, Wakefield Hospital will have 37 patient rooms, 10 ICU beds, six theatres and recovery areas, a cardiac cath lab, an endoscopy suite, medical imaging and much more. Wakefield Hospital theatres will also include AirFRAME technology upon their completion.

Full-time medical specialists also provide 24-hour care to complement our dedicated team of professional staff.

We have seven operating theatres, along with a 34-bed hospital, 10 recovery beds, x-ray and imaging services, Angiography Suite, dedicated 5-bed Intensive Care Unit, Endoscopy Unit and Cardiac Labs.
