Manuka Street Hospital is a private hospital at 36 Manuka St, Nelson East, Nelson, with a Google rating of 4.5.
A private hospital provides planned surgery and procedures, usually after a referral from a GP or specialist, and it usually does not run an emergency department, so call 111 in an emergency. Before you go, ask the hospital and your specialist what is included in the cost, whether you have health insurance and what it covers, and what you will need to pay, since private care often involves separate fees for the surgeon, anaesthetist and hospital. Follow pre-admission instructions carefully, such as fasting and which medicines to take, and bring a list of your medications, ID and any referral letters. Arrange a support person to take you home and help for the first day or two. Regulars ask questions at the pre-admission stage and write down aftercare instructions.
For people in Nelson and the Tasman region, Manuka Street Hospital is a place to ask about planned surgery.
