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 more than 700,000 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.
COVID-19 Update
As the mobile surgical unit moves throughout New Zealand, we will observe the COVID-19 Protection Framework (traffic lights) and district health board requirements for each area. These requirements will prioritise routine pre-procedure screening of patients to ensure we only treat lower risk of COVID-19 infection patients.
Day Surgery
Mobile Health brings the operating theatre to the doorstep of 25 rural communities with elective day surgery operations onboard the mobile surgical unit.
Education
Rural health professionals are supported with both hands-on clinical training and education programs.
Webinars
My Health Hub provides online education for health professionals. Webinars cover a wide range of health topics, are free to attend and open to all health providers in NZ.
About Us
Established in 2002, we are a private company funded by the Ministry of Health to provide health services primarily to people living and working in rural New Zealand.
