Mangere Community Health Centre

# 17/8 4.5 + Hr Wait for a 9 Year old - Yesterday a family member took their 9 yr old son to see the doc for more medicine/check up . They entered the premises @ 15:48 (I checked this) and we left the premises after 20:00. The chemist had closed so defeated the purpose to get medicine the same day.I need to understand why the 9yr was waiting 4+ hrs to see the doctor - was his age not taken into consideration? Also the waiting area does not permit eating or drinking (a person working 8hrs would have had at least 2 breaks in this time). Why is there no option to ring a mobile no if the waiting time is 1+ hr long to wait? Especially for children & the elderly.Also, if the family after waiting 4.5 hrs left, they would have to line up again to see the doctor the next day # No win situation.When we finally left, there was an elderly couple waiting (last patients)NOTE: the doctor/nurse/administrator - remained pleasant & professional in what would have been a long shift them.** Please take this feedback into consideration **

This place deserves no stars..when seeing a doctor. The wait time is terrible..There use to be more Doctors for a very busy Community Health Centre..Now theres up to three Drs ... This is a Pacific Island community we need more Doctors in our area please..That would solve the wait time at this centre.

Worse place ever for wait time and there’s always a pattern when the board says 3 doctors on duty and yet you only see one seeing patients . It’s a quiet day today and the wait is up to two hours and still waiting. Pathetic
