Southern DHB is responsible for most public hospital and health services in Southland and Otago.

We provide health services directly from our own facilities and staff. These services are managed through our Southland and Otago provider arms. Southland's provider arm includes includes Southland Hospital, Lakes District Hospital, and  Mental Health Services. Otago's Provider Arm includes Wakari Hospital, Dunedin Hospital and Mental Health Services.

We also fund health services in the region, by contracting with other health providers to deliver specific health services for our communities. These contracted services are operated by independent health organisations, which manage their own services and staff.
