Our health services, both public and private, are pulling together to support Canterbury.
Some of Christchurch's most vulnerable residents are being moved to safer accommodation. In some cases that means moving out of the region.
Some hospital patients are being transferred to other hospitals around the country, and specialist staff are arriving from outside the region. Primary care is coping well, and private hospitals are providing x-ray and surgery to help out. There are also triage centres around the city to help take the pressure off, and ambulances and paramedics have arrived in Christchurch from different regions around New Zealand.
The teams in Christchurch are doing an incredible job. We are seeing New Zealand's health professionals at their best once again.
