Day Surgery for Rural NZ
EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HEALTHCAREOne of the guiding principles of The New Zealand Health Strategy is equitable access for all New Zealanders to a comprehensive range of health and disability services. With over 600,000 people living and working in rural areas, the services we provide on the mobile surgical unit – Te Waka Hauora are clearly focussed on ensuring these patients are treated where they live and work. Our promise is to deliver a safe, friendly and quality-driven service.
service status
In response to COVID-19 we have implemented a number of aditional precautions, but our daily rural schedule is operating normally.
Most education sessions including all webinars will continue. More information available here.
Day Surgery
Mobile Health brings the operating theatre to the doorstep of 25 rural communities with elective day surgery operations on board the mobile surgical unit.
Education
Rural health professionals are supported with both hands on clinical training, and education programs which are delivered through video conferencing.
Webinars
We produce regular webinars covering a wide range of health content. Webinars are free to attend, and are open to all health providers in NZ.
