In 2020, Christchurch Hospital opened the Waipapa Building, formerly known as the Acute Services Building.
Christchurch Hospital is now constructing a new third tower at the Waipapa Building to house 160 inpatient beds. As demand grows, a staged approach to the fit-out is expected to be undertaken, with 64 beds to be initially made available.
