Our Services

Our Ngati Porou Hauora doctors, nurses, kaiawhina, specialists and support staff work out of a GP clinic in Gisborne (Puhi Kaiti) and in numerous places along the East Coast, as well as Te Puia Hospital in Te Puia Springs. Our services will help keep you and your whanau healthy, and support you while you are sick.

Our focus is on health and disability care for everyone within the Ngati Porou rohe, covering some 200 km of the East Coast of the North Island from Potikirua near Hicks Bay in the north to Te Toka-a-Taiau, Gisborne, in the south. Although owned and governed by Ngati Porou, our organisation offers services to all within the Tairawhiti region, as a ‘by Maori, for all’ service.

Health and disability services we provide include general practice consultations, maternity, mental health, quit smoking, immunisation, cervical smears, physiotherapy, dental health and diabetes care.   Talk to your nurse or doctor about any of the services offered.

Physiotherapy

A physiotherapist or physio helps you get active and strong again if you have a health issue or disability that affects your body's functions or makes it hard for you to move around freely. They also help you prevent injuries and illnesses.
