Middlemore's Kidz First Hospital reports near-capacity admissions due to respiratory illnesses, prompting an increase in Jammies for June campaign target by Dame Valerie Adams.

Middlemore's Kidz First Hospital sees near-capacity admissions due to ongoing respiratory illnesses like rheumatic fever, RSV, and asthma, no longer confined to winter. Clinical Director Dr Richard Matsas expects a busy winter in hospitals and healthcare settings. In response, Dame Valerie Adams raises the Jammies for June campaign target from 10,000 to 15,000 pairs of pyjamas this winter.
