Maaori proverb
Counties Manukau Health is one of New Zealand’s largest district health boards located in vibrant south Auckland. We serve over half a million people who are both youthful and ageing, and vibrantly diverse. It is estimated that by 2020, our population will be 15% Maaori, 22% Pacific, and 26% Asian people.
We are a large teaching hospital and have one of the busiest Emergency departments in Australasia; we also deliver a number of national and regional services from our facilities in the heart of south Auckland; and work in partnership with our primary care colleagues through an integrated care focus.
