Free WiFi for patients and visitors at Auckland DHB
Patients and visitors to Auckland District Health Board (DHB) hospitals can now enjoy free WiFi helping them keep in touch with the outside world during their visit to Auckland City Hospital and Greenlane Clinical Centre.
The new WiFi service allows people staying in or visiting any of our hospitals to connect to the internet on their laptops, smartphones and tablets for as long as they want to completely free of charge.
WiFi is one of a number of things being put in place to make people’s stay or visit with us more pleasant, says Chief Executive, Ailsa Claire. “People in hospital can sometimes feel isolated, providing free WiFi helps patients stay in touch with their friends and families. It also allows those people visiting or staying in hospital to get on with some of their outside commitments.”
The WiFi service is provided by Internet Kiosk Specialist Ltd and has been made possible at Auckland DHB by healthAlliance who manages and supports IT for the Northern Region DHBs.
