Leader Primary Health Networks at National Hauora Coalition - Auckland, Auckland, NZ
The NHC is a Whānau Ora organisation with a national Primary Health Organisation (PHO) containing over 60 GP practices. NHC practices were largely drawn together through the merging of 11 Māori-led Primary Health Organisations (PHOs).\\The NHC wants Whānau Ora for all whānau in New Zealand. Whānau Ora, as a state of wellbeing, is best defined by whānau for themselves. It can also be said that whānau ora is achieved by whānau when they have aspirations for themselves and their mokopuna, and feel able to succeed in New Zealand and the world. Whānau ora is often described by whānau as being healthy, happy, educated, employed and able to ensure their children, and their children's children have every opportunity.
