The NHC current response
We remain open for business as usual, determined to deliver services and support to the practices and communities we serve. At NHC we have taken steps to ensure the safety of our PHO employees and steps to minimise risks.Ā We must all follow the basic rules (hand washing, sneeze and cough into your elbow, observe social distancing).
As this is an unfolding and continuously changing scenario, therefore we will be reassessing daily our policies around safely providing our services to you, with the wellbeing of our staff and communities taking priority.
Together we can slow the spread
Partnership with MÄori in responding to this pandemicĀ isĀ essential to achieving equitable outcomes. The evidence tells us that MÄori are likely to experience significantly worse effects from Covid-19. We are committed to ensuring these effects are reduced or eliminated.

The Whole Truth is a partnership between Stuff, Whakaata MÄori and the Pacific Media Network, designed to combat misinformation without inadvertently spreading it.
Since its launch in May 2021, the project's landing page has received over 3 million page views! A significant number of readers in Aotearoa have shared positive feedback, with some saying it helped them have conversations with their own whÄnau about vaccination.
Stuff has called it one of their greatest success stories of 2021.
