Summary
Health New Zealand’s decades-old medical scanning systems are finally getting a major overhaul after years of fragmentation and dangerous misdiagnoses, with a three-phase upgrade plan rolling out from 2024 to 2026—though skeptics question whether the agency even knows what systems it’s fixing. Despite a 2022 upgrade that backfired and fault reports skyrocketing from 30 to 800, new efforts in Auckland, the south, and the center aim to stabilize operations by June. Meanwhile, a separate government initiative to boost scan capacity is showing early success, with union leaders cautiously optimistic that alignment between tech and capacity is finally moving forward.
