The Southern Cross Health Trust is a Charitable Trust established almost 50 years ago with a vision to give more New Zealanders access to timely, affordable, and quality private healthcare.
The Trust delivers this vision via its key subsidiary, Southern Cross Healthcare Limited (Southern Cross Healthcare), which has a primary purpose of advancing the provision of quality healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Charitable Surgery Programme
The Southern Cross Charitable Surgery Programme provides much needed surgical treatment to people who have no other means of accessing timely and affordable healthcare. Under the Programme there is no cost to the patient. The Southern Cross Health Trust funds all hospital charges and medical practitioners provide their services at no charge.
Southern Cross Healthcare credentialled medical practitioners are encouraged to refer eligible patients for the Programme via the General Manager of their local Southern Cross hospital.
Together, we can improve the lives of even more New Zealanders through the provision of quality healthcare.
