HOW YOU CAN HELP
Let's do even more for NZ women
Your gift could help the Women's Health team move faster with innovative care solutions and keep pace with global technological developments – in maternity, gynaecological oncology, or any area of women's health that matters most to you.
Donations could also help us enhance the patient experience and improve the hospital environment, from birthing suites to family spaces, and everywhere in between. New state-of-the-art equipment can improve patient outcomes, and beyond government funding alone, these advancements rely on us.
You can help couples like Lorene and Andrea (pictured), who relied on the maternal-fetal medicine team throughout Lorene's pregnancy. Having lost their beloved first-born, Asher, before his 1st birthday, it was vital they felt reassured that their future babies were healthy – and reassurance is exactly what the team provided prior to the safe arrival of precious Niko.
You can help people at one of life’s most exciting moments – welcoming new life – and also during their greatest health challenges.
