After hours and on weekends:  When seeing a doctor can’t wait

The Panacea Health Clinic opens from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and Saturday from 9:00am to 2:00pm. However illness doesn’t necessarily stick to business hours and you may find you need to see a doctor when we are closed. If you find you need medical care outside of normal business hours the National Home Doctor Service is here to help.

Service Available

National Home Doctor Service qualified doctors make after hours house calls to homes. They offer home visits for treatment of illnesses requiring attention when your doctor is not available.
