flag Upper Hutt, NZ, lacks healthcare access due to GP shortage, risking nationwide general practice collapse.

flag Upper Hutt, New Zealand, faces a healthcare crisis with no hospital, urgent care, or after-hours services due to a severe GP shortage, forcing residents to seek care at overcrowded emergency departments. flag The General Practice Owners Association warns the situation is a "canary in the coal mine" for nationwide general practice collapse, citing unsustainable working conditions, staff shortages, and competition from subsidized telehealth. flag Despite government funding increases and reforms, GenPro says these efforts fall short of addressing years of underinvestment. flag The group urges sustained, increased funding for both general and ACC-related care to prevent further loss of local medical services across the country.
