Southern Cross Wellington Hospital is a private surgical hospital and integrated, purpose-built specialist consulting centre. The hospital features day procedure facilities, five operating theatres, diagnostic technologies, and a modern intensive care unit – all of which allows the hospital to provide for the needs of a variety of patients, including those at higher-risk, given the increasing number of complex elective surgical procedures now performed in the private sector.
Clinical services include Orthopaedic surgery, Neurosurgery, General Surgery, Gynaecology, Ophthalmology and Urology.
First established in 1992, the hospital has seen significant additions and upgrades on the site over recent years.
