As a healthcare provider, our primary goal has always been to offer the best possible care to our patients. We have tried to avoid this change for as long as possible, however due to rising costs in operational expenses and a lack of adequate government funding, we have had to adjust our prices to continue to provide the high-quality service you should have.
We understand that this may be an unwelcome change and appreciate your understanding and continued support as valued patients of Manurewa Medical.
We strongly encourage you to write to the Minister of Health, Dr Shane Reti along with your local MP, to express your dismay at the increase in fees and outlining the impact the increase will have on your Whānau.
