About us | Te Whatu Ora | Health New Zealand

The Health System in Aotearoa is entering a period of transformation as we implement the Pae Ora/Healthy Futures vision of a reformed system where people live longer in good health, have improved quality of life, and there is equity between all groups. We want to build a healthcare system that works collectively and cohesively around a shared set of values and a culture that enables everyone to bring their best to work and feel proud when they go home to their whānau, friends and community.  The reforms are expected to achieve five system shifts. These are:

1. The health system will reinforce Te Tiriti principles and obligations
2. All people will be able to access a comprehensive range of support in their local communities to help them stay well
3. Everyone will have equal access to high-quality emergency and specialist care when they need it
4. Digital services will provide more people with the care they need in their homes and communities
5. Health and care workers will be valued and well-trained for the future health system

The Waikato District provides health services to the communities of Waikato with a combined population of over 400,000 people, and tertiary-level services to the midland region, with a population of over 840,000. Waikato Hospital in Hamilton provides the most specialised and complex medical care and is recognised as both a tertiary and accredited training hospital. It is our people that are fundamental to our success and our diverse workforce of over 7,000 employees provide care and support to more than 100,000 patients per year.
