Keep your baby safe with an alcohol free pregnancy
The COVID-19 pandemic, and resulting lockdowns, have created big changes to our lives, and alcohol consumption may have changed for some people. Hazardous drinking can be harmful for everyone, but drinking during pregnancy can harm both mother and child.
Simple steps to feeling better in Lockdown
Let’s get straight to the point – lockdown isn’t a natural way to live. Some of us kiwis are enjoying time with whaanau at home while not working, others are essential workers, and some of us are trying to balance work and home life.
Curious about what happens to your COVID-19 test?
Since the country entered level 4 lockdown our laboratory teams have scaled up their COVID-19 testing capacity, big time. Daily COVID-19 testing through our laboratory has increased from 500 to 5500 tests per day. The CM Health medical laboratory workforce consists of scientists, technicians, and clinicians.
COVID-19 patient numbers to increase at Middlemore

As community cases rise, Middlemore Hospital is ready to admit and care for more patients with COVID-19 related illnesses.
