Anna Gaitt, service manager for WellSouth s Invercargill practice
WellSouth’s plans for a primary care service in Invercargill has taken another step forward with the appointment of a service manager and a new rūnaka partner joining the initiative.
Anna Gaitt will join WellSouth and lead the development of the new primary care service.
Also this week, Oraka Aparima Rūnaka has confirmed it will join with Hokonui Rūnanga, Waihōpai Rūnaka and Awarua Rūnaka in partnering with WellSouth to create the new primary care service, helping ensure further equity of access to primary care services and health outcomes for all in the Invercargill locality.
The vaccination requires two doses and the second will be administered in three weeks time, the spokesperson said. The immunisation clinics will be administered by trained vaccinators from general practices in Dunedin and Invercargill, with support from the WellSouth Primary Health Network and Southern DHB’s Public Health Immunisation Team. The doses were transported to Dunedin and Invercargill in special containers, directly from the ultra-low temperature storage facility in Auckland. Southern DHB medical officer of health Dr Susan Jack called the roll-out “a milestone for our district”. “We are extremely grateful to the ports for all of their assistance in getting this important vaccination work started, and particularly for helping to protect their communities,” she said.
