EASTERN BAY PRIMARY
HEALTH ALLIANCE
NAU MAI, HAERE MAI
At EBPHA, we provide and support primary health care services in our rohe (district).
Our first level primary health care is provided by 9 General Practices with 27 General Practitioners and 33 Practice Nurses, who serve 29,000 enrolled patients throughout the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
It is our role to bring together GPs, nurses, and other health professionals, such as Māori health workers, health promotion workers, dietitians, counsellors, and psychologists, to serve the needs of our community.
While many of our services are directed towards individuals and illness, we are also focused on issues that impact on the wellness of specific groups within our communities, of whom 56% are Māori, 56% live in deprived circumstances, and 73% are “High Needs”.
We are responsible for ensuring current challenges in community health care are being met. These challenges include equitable healthcare for Māori, child and adolescent health, immunisation, mental health, and long-term conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular/heart disease.
