Library
The Waikato District Health Board Library has a core collection of 10,000 books and over 350 journal titles, focusing on resources across all hospital specialities, as well as developing areas such as physiotherapy, rehabilitation, health statistics, general practice and management. It also has a valuable historical book collection.
The Library is open to members of the public for reference purposes.
Unfortunately due to license agreements only Waikato District Health Board staff are able to access the databases and electronic journals.
