Bowen Hospital is a two-level hospital facility and five-level specialist consulting building, located approximately 3km north of Wellington’s CBD.

Originally constructed in 1971, the facility has undergone upgrades and renovations including a $34m development adding 3 operating theatres and consulting building housing consulting space, an endoscopy unit and chemotherapy clinic.

Previous development works at the site have included the construction of a bunker capable of housing two radiotherapy bunkers, the fitout of one bunker and fitout of shelled theatres and procedure rooms, which is an extension of the recently completed chemotherapy services at Bowen operated by a partnership between Icon Cancer Care and Evolution Healthcare.

Recent development works completed in November 2023 include the fitout of one theatre, new sterile stores, expansion of consulting suites and refurbishment of inpatient rooms.

The facility now has 7 theatres (including procedure rooms) and 26 hospital beds.
