Christchurch Women's Hospital

Christchurch Women's Hospital was opened in May 2005.  The decision to relocate to the Christchurch Hospital campus was made in 1998 and initially a site on the Riverside of the campus was chosen. Construction on the current Parkside location began in November 2002 and was completed in March 2005.

As well as providing gynaecological and obstetric services, Christchurch Women's Hospital has a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which provides both intensive and special care for newborn babies.

Infection Control

  • Infection Control is an important part of hospital life. We aim to minimise infections in patients, clients, and healthcare workers through education, surveillance and clinical intervention.

Medical Certificates and Accident Compensation

  • If you require a Medical Certificate please ask your nurse or doctor.
  • If your admission to hospital is the result of an accident, a claim should be lodged with the Accident Compensation Corporation.
  • For more information please ask your nurse or doctor.
  • Remember it is your right and responsibility to claim compensation for an accident. The hospital has no legal responsibility beyond providing the medical certificate.
