A project to bring Waimarino health and social services together has huge potential for improving Māori health, Whanganui Regional Health Network chief executive Judith McDonald says. The change is being led by Erena Mikaere, who manages Ngāti Rangi s Ruapehu Whānau Transformation Plan.

There is a compelling case for reforming the way New
Zealand’s district health boards (DHBs) are funded
starting with two relatively low cost technical measures.

Will the health reforms proposed for the Labour Government make the system better or worse? Health commentator
Ian Powell (formerly the Executive Director of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists) gives his analysis of what change is most necessary, and what should be avoided.

PM Ardern vows to deliver two key solutions to New Zealand s dental health epidemic Newshub 24/02/2021 Zac Fleming © Video - Newshub; Image - Getty Watch: PM Jacinda Ardern promises to deliver two key solutions to New Zealand s dental health epidemic .
