Developing cardiology infrastructure at Waikato Hospital 1970
1 January 1970

In the 1970’s the mid North Island region of New Zealand was very poorly served for cardiac services, particularly cardiac surgery. The Heart Trust supported the development of cardiology infrastructure at Waikato Hospital. This infrastructure development eventually helped make it possible for Waikato to make a successful bid for life saving cardiac surgery with its subsequent flow on effects into coronary angioplasty, electrophysiology and new heart valve procedures for future generations of patients from throughout the region.
