A $90 million project began construction on a 28-bed rapid-build ward at Nelson Hospital, part of five new temporary wards to ease nationwide hospital bed shortages.
Construction has begun on a 28-bed rapid-build inpatient ward at Nelson Hospital, part of a nationwide initiative to expand hospital capacity with five temporary wards.
Funded by a $90 million Budget 2025 allocation, the project will add 140 new beds across key hospitals, easing bed pressures and improving patient flow.
The ward, built offsite and set to open in late 2026, will support ongoing redevelopment, including seismic upgrades, with minimal disruption.
Rapid-build methods enable faster delivery, better cost control, and higher quality than traditional construction.
Similar wards are planned for Middlemore, Waikato, and Wellington hospitals.
