Christchurch Hospital advisory
Christchurch Hospital’s Emergency Department has seen a number of people this morning with minor injuries – mainly cuts and bruises but some broken bones.
There have been two people with more major injuries. One man in his fifties who was hit by a falling chimney. He is in a serious condition in ICU. Another man in his fifties has serious injuries after being cut by glass in the earthquake.
People with minor injuries should look after each other. If they need medical assistance for minor injuries they can visit the 24 Hour After Hours Surgery in Bealey Ave and Moorhouse Medical Centre
Unless people need medical attention for serious injuries, they should not visit Christchurch Hospital.
We are still assessing damage to hospitals and still experiencing after shocks.
People should remember to check on their neighbours.
