Maternity & Family

“Whakamanatia te wahine hei oranga whānau.”
– Inspiring women to raise healthy families.

At Turuki Health Care, we believe a healthy start means a healthy future, so our key focus has always been the health of Mama and Pepi (Mothers and Babies). We specialise in providing wrap-around services to pre-school aged children/tamariki and their wider whānau members, including:

We’re proud to say that in the last year, we have provided services and support to:

  • 301 vulnerable children/tamariki under 5 through Family Start
  • 109 vulnerable children/tamariki under 5 and their whānau, through Parents as First Teachers
