Hāwera Emergency Department
Amount needed: $85,000
When you need urgent care, you want an emergency department that is well equipped to diagnose you quickly and safely.
Hāwera Emergency Department has no CT Scanner and limited radiology hours for X-ray or ultrasound. It can be challenging for the medical team to accurate diagnose internal issues. By raising $85,000 for an ultrasound dedicated to Hāwera emergency department, doctors can undertake bedside assessments and diagnoses, and get treatment started quickly.
Emergency Department Ultrasound
With access to an Ultrasound at your bedside, the emergency teams in Hāwera will be able to perform enhanced physical exams,
and be able
to diagnose internal issues more easily. This includes trauma patients, surgical patients, and obstetric
patients. It can also be used on patients that present with cardiac issues to perform an informal
echocardiogram.
More importantly, it will give better health outcomes to the population of South Taranaki and mean less
transfers to Taranaki Base Hospital.
