Waitematā

North Shore Hospital and Waitakere Hospital are two major hospitals located in the Auckland region. 

We are also undertaking major capital works at our rapidly-expanding campuses to help meet unprecedented population growth in the northern region of New Zealand. A cornerstone of this expansion programme is the construction of the four-storey Tōtara Haumaru (Shade of the Tree) hospital building on Auckland’s North Shore. This new state-of-the-art facility is being built on our North Shore Hospital campus - overlooking the incredible, volcanically formed Lake Pupuke - just a stone’s throw away from our world-famous Waitematā Harbour and some of the region’s most spectacular beaches. Tōtara Haumaru is due for completion in December 2023 and will provide up to eight extra operating theatres, four new endoscopy suites and up to 150 new beds – helping us meet the needs of our vibrant, fast-growing and culturally diverse population of over 650,000 people

North Shore Hospital is a large hospital with 663 beds, providing a wide range of services including emergency care, surgical procedures, maternity care, mental health services, and more. The hospital has a modern design and features state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.

North Shore Hospital is also home to several specialist centers, including the National Poisons Centre, the Northern Regional Spinal Unit, and the Waitemata Breast Centre. 

Waitakere Hospital is a smaller hospital and provides a range of services including emergency care, maternity care, medical and surgical services, and more.

Waitakere Hospital also has a focus on community health, with several specialist centers providing services such as mental health care, diabetes management, and rehabilitation services.
