Central Otago health leaders celebrated the opening of Wānaka’s new overnight acute services on Monday.
It has been more than two years since after-hours care was available in Wānaka.
More than 50 people, mostly health professionals, listened to speeches from several community and health leaders stressing community collaboration as the way forward in the battle for better rural services, before touring the two rooms set aside for Wānaka’s 11pm-8am after-hours Wānaka Acute Overnight Care service.
