ŌRĀKEI HEALTH INFLUENZA LIKE ILLNESS (ILI) CLINIC
Another way Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei’s Ōrākei Health is uniting against Covid-19 was to become a designated clinic. We are now delivering free Covid-19 swabbing to any whānau or member of our local communities who have cold or flu like symptoms to ensure our whānau and community are as safe as possible during winter.
If you or any of your whānau have cold or flu like symptoms please call Ōrākei Health on (09) 578 0956 to book you in with the Doctor.

To help Ngāti Whātua Orakei understand the impact of COVID-19 for whānau, a household survey was developed canvassing health, education, housing, employment and finance. The response from the Whānau Survey was overwhelming and the insights that we have gathered are significant in shaping how, what and why does support look like for our whānau through these unprecedented times.
