Ōtautahi set to have a primary birthing unit again

Christchurch is once again set to have a primary birthing unit this month. St George's Hospital closed the city's only unit last June when its maternity contract with Health Canterbury came to an end, sparking a petition and protests. Kurawaka Waipapa will now replace it, just a stone's throw from Christchurch Hospital in the central city. Niva Chittock was there for the opening.
