Residents of Wairarapa needing dialysis treatment services currently have no choice but to travel out of the region to get those services.  This is incredibly disruptive to the lives of those needing these services and their friends and whanau as well as having negative impacts on their health and well-being.  Ensuring these life-sustaining services are closer to their home will assist the progress of their treatment.

Therefore, we call upon Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora to take action and provide dialysis services at Wairarapa Hospital. By making this vital service accessible locally, we can ensure that residents of our region receive the medical care they need without the strain of travel. This crucial step would improve general well-being, and the quality of life for patients and their families.

Please sign this petition to urge Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora to bring dialysis treatment facilities to Wairarapa Hospital. Together, we can make a difference by advocating for necessary services closer to home.
