🚨 TROUBLE REACHING YOUR MIDWIFE? CALL THE HOSPITAL 📞

The Dannevirke Community Midwives team is currently having some phone issues, which might make it hard to reach your midwife. We know how important it is to feel supported during pregnancy and after birth, and we understand this can be stressful, especially when you need advice or reassurance.

If you can’t get through, please call the Dannevirke Community Hospital on (06) 374 5691 and they’ll help connect you with a midwife.

We’re really sorry for the inconvenience and are working hard to get things back up and running as soon as possible. We’ll share an update once everything is fixed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 💚

With measles cases confirmed in Aotearoa New Zealand, it’s important we all stay alert. Symptoms include: high fever, cough, runny nose, sore red eyes, and followed by a rash.

📍 Locations of interest in Northland/Te Tai Tokerau, Queenstown, and Cromwell are listed here: http://spr.ly/6187A9Ap9. Please check if you or your whānau/family may have been exposed.

🤒 If you or your whānau feel unwell, stay home, and call your GP/hauora provider or Healthline 0800 611 116 for free advice.

✅ Anyone who hasn’t had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine (including tamariki/children) should get immunised. This is the best protection.

🛡️ Protect your whānau and your whakapapa. If you're not sure if you had two MMR doses, your GP or hauora provider can help you check.

👩🏽‍⚕️ Pop-up immunisation clinics are running in Northland/Te Tai Tokerau - find details here: http://spr.ly/6188A9Api

Clinics in other regions are listed here: info.health.nz/immunisations/immunisation-clinics

If you can’t find an immunisation clinic in your area, please contact your doctor, hauora or health provider, or call the Vaccination Helpline free on 0800 28 29 26 (8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday).
