Kaniva Hospital

Kaniva Hospital is a small rural hospital in Kaniva in the Little Desert region of Victoria's Wimmera, providing emergency, acute, and residential aged care services to the West Wimmera Shire and surrounding communities near the South Australian border. As a government-operated rural health service, Kaniva Hospital's aged care beds enable elderly residents of this remote agricultural district to receive nursing home care without leaving their community. The hospital also serves as the primary emergency and acute care facility for the West Wimmera, connecting patients to the Horsham Base Hospital for specialist care.
