The people served by Counties Manukau DHB

Counties Manukau has been and remains one of the fastest growing areas in New Zealand. It is a diverse population with complex health needs and service requirements.
Key features of the Counties Manukau DHB population are:

• a high proportion of Maori

• a high proportion of Asian people
• the relative youthfulness of these populations, and the population as a whole
• the fast growth of this population

Shared Vision is

 

to work in partnership with our community to improve the health status of all, with particular emphasis on Maori and Pacific peoples and other communities with health disparities.

• We will do this by leading the development of an improved system of healthcare that is more accessible and better integrated
• We will dedicate ourselves to serving our patients and communities by ensuring the delivery of both quality focussed and cost effective healthcare, at the right place, right time and right setting.
• Counties Manaukau DHB's provider arm will be a leader in the delivery of successful secondary and tertiary health care, and supporting primary and community care.
  
  

In its planning and funding role, the DHB believes that partnerships with communities and providers will enhance our capacity to deliver improved outcomes to our communities.
