Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

Hospital is Auckland’s main hospital and the largest hospital in New
Zealand, as well as one of the oldest medical facilities of the country.
It is a publicly funded hospital, run by the Auckland District Health
Board since 2001. Located in the suburb of Grafton, east of the CBD, it
has 3,500 rooms and provides a total of 710 beds. As New Zealand’s
largest hospital, the emergency department alone sees about 47,000
patients annually (over 55,000 as of 2008), of which 44% are treated as
in-patients. Colocated with its emergency department is the children’s
emergency department, which sees another 30,000 patients annually,
making the campus one of the busiest in Australasia.
