Te Tai Tokerau Alliance for Health
Northland DHB, Manaia Health PHO, Te Tai Tokerau PHO and Maori leadership have launched the Te Tai Tokerau Alliance for Health. Its aim is to reduce inequality and improve the health and wellbeing of all Northlanders. It is seen as a new way of working to achieve real change in the delivery of healthcare in the region, enabling a move to closer integration of services across hospitals and the community.
An Alliance Leadership Team has been chosen to lead the joint decision making with regard to the implementation of individual Alliance Programmes. To learn more about the team, meeting minutes and communication posts can be found below.
The first Alliance Programme will target 0-5 year olds within Northland with a focus, but is not limited to immunisation, registration, well child, safety and lifestyle intervention. A second Alliance Programme will target Diabetes. Other Alliance Programmes covering different areas will be identified as work progresses.
