New Te Kūiti Hauora Report reveals mounting pressure on rural ‘health hub’ serving the wider district

Te Tiratū Iwi Māori Partnership Board has today released its 48-page Te Kūiti Hauora Report, revealing the growing strain on one of the Waikato region’s key rural health hubs, where local services are supporting not only Te Kūiti residents but whānau from surrounding communities who rely on the town for everyday healthcare.

The report is the latest in the Hauora Report Series by the Iwi Māori Partnership Board examining health across ten localities in the Tainui waka rohe – Taumarunui, Putāruru, Tokoroa, Paeroa, Thames, Te Kūiti, Ōtorohanga, Te Awamutu, Raahui Pookeka and Ngaaruawaahia, and Kirikiriroa.
