Health Minister Dr Shane Reti has opened the refurbished children’s unit at Rotorua Hospital.
It’s part of a $6 million upgrade that also included the 60-year-old birthing and perinatal units.
The improvements include state-of-the-art negative pressure rooms, enhanced air change systems, and more ensuite bathrooms, as well as redesigned office and storage spaces to better meet clinical, communication and privacy requirements for staff and patients.
