Dunstan Hospital

 

Dunstan Hospital is situated close by the township of Clyde at the entry to the Cromwell Gorge (199km north-west of Dunedin City – approximately 2 hours 30 minutes drive). It is located in the Central Otago District.

 

Dunstan Hospital has been operating in Central Otago since 1863. The modern, purpose built facility was extensively refurbished in 2005.

 

The Dunstan Hospital facility includes a 24 acute bed inpatient ward (including a three bed High Dependency Unit) and provides secondary health services to around 25,000 people living in the wider Central Otago and Wanaka regions.
