Auckland and Waitematā DHBs, with the help of Associate
Minister of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall, have launched a new
breast screening clinic in central Auckland today.
The
new Breastscreen Auckland clinic is located in Greenlane and
is a collaborative approach between Auckland and Waitematā
DHBs. Waitematā DHB is running the service which will make
breast screening more accessible for the 67,000 women who
are aged between 45 and 69 in the Auckland DHB
catchment.
The new service, which Ngāti Whātua has
gifted the name of Kia Ū Ora, has been applauded by
Minister Verrall for its focus on equity of health
