National PRIME Committee

New Zealand’s health system is under strain, and communities across the country are calling for urgent action. The Buller Declaration is a nationwide movement advocating for real change, and a series of Public Meetings are being held to raise awareness and gather support. We encourage you to attend a meeting near you, hear from expert speakers, and add your signature to the Declaration. Together, we can make a difference and ensure our voices are heard when the Declaration is presented to Parliament in November.

"Underfunded, under-resourced, under pressure." TVNZ's John Campbell takes a deep dive into the state of our health system—highlighting the urgent challenges faced in healthcare. Our Chief Executive, Dr Grant Davidson, shares powerful insights on the realities for rural communities and health professionals.

We are pleased to announce the new Hauora Taiwhenua Board that was voted on during the AGM on the evening of December 4th.  Fiona Bolden was reappointed for a further 2-year term as Chair, which is a testament to the energy Fiona has put into the role to bring Hauora Taiwhenua into existence as a collective and establish the organisation as a key influencer in rural health advocacy. Her commitment to rural communities is unwavering and grounded in her work as a rural GP working most recently on the Coromandel.
