Subject: Important Announcement Regarding Changes in Kowhai Clinic

Dear valued Kowhai Clinic patients,

We write to you with important news regarding recent changes with Kowhai Clinic that may have caused some confusion. We understand the importance of clear communication and want to ensure that you have accurate information.

We want to emphasize that Kowhai Clinic is still fully operational during normal hours and
Dr. Shujaullah will continue to see patients.

HOURS: Mon/Tuesday 8:30am-6:00pm
Wed-Friday 8:30am-5:30pm
Saturdays 9:00am-12:00pm

* We are now also open on Saturdays from 9:00am-12:00pm to cater for our busy families who cannot see a medical professional on the weekdays.

Our dedicated team, including Nurse Sneh and our reception staff (Joanne, Schehera, Salima, and Neha) are committed to providing the same level of care and assistance you have come to expect from Kowhai Clinic.

We understand that changes in healthcare providers can be unsettling, and we want to assure you that your well-being is our top priority. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our reception team at (09) 4442098 or email us at reception@kowhaiclinic.co.nz and they will be more than happy to assist you.

Please also be informed that due to these changes, our ManagemyHealth Systems is currently down. We assure you that our IT team is working hard to get this fixed and we endeavor for this to be available for you to use from Monday next week.

We appreciate your understanding and continued trust in Kowhai Clinic. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your healthcare journey.

Regards,

Dr Shujaullah Kamali and the rest of the Kowhai Clinic Team

Services Provided

Cervical Screening

All women and people with a cervix aged 25 – 69 who have ever had intimate skin-to-skin contact or been sexually active should have regular cervical screening. This includes women who have been immunised against HPV. Together, regular screening and HPV immunisation provide the best protection against cervical cancer.

There are now more options for how you have cervical screening done:

a simple vaginal swab test for HPV, either done yourself or with help from a healthcare professional
a cervical sample taken by a healthcare professional (used to be known as a smear test).

Talk with your healthcare provider to decide which option is best for you.

If HPV is found, you may need to have a follow-up test or be referred directly for colposcopy.

If you’ve not yet had HPV testing, you should be screened 3 years after your last test (or 1 year if immune deficient). Once you have had an HPV test, and providing HPV is not found, your next screening will be in 5 years (or 3 years if immune deficient).

For more information: Cervical screening | Time to Screen - National Screening Unit

Smears are done by our nurse - Jeanne. Please phone reception to book your appointment with her for your cervical smear.
