Swine Flu and Wellington Hospital

Swine Flu, also known as the Influenza A H1N1 virus, has been dominating the media recently as health officials prepare for an ever growing number of patients with the virus.

Our work within the Hospital is continuing as normal, however many of our Volunteers are currently staying home to reduce the spread of Swine Flu.  The main reception in the Wellington Hospital atrium is still operating for any visitors or patients to the Hospital that may need assistance.

Hospital staff are also working extra hard to keep the service running full speed during flu season and they should be commended!
