Mobile Health has proven that sharing expensive medical resources enables better care to be delivered closer to the homes of rural New Zealanders. Day surgery - with close to 30,000 elective day surgery operations completed aboard the Mobile Surgical Unit - Te Waka Hauora, Mobile Health brings the operating theatre to the doorstep of rural communities. Education - health professionals are also supported through a range of education and training programmes. More than 60,000 hours of training and education have been provided in the last 10 years through both hands-on and virtual means. Strong community partnerships are the key to success. Rather than replacing existing health services, Mobile Health acts as a catalyst for communities and health professionals to develop a better rural health system. We work closely with the Ministry of Health, regional district health boards and local health organisations to provide treatment and education at more than 24 rural locations throughout New Zealand. Our promise is to deliver a safe, friendly and quality-driven service.
