Ngahiwi Tomoana, Hawke’s Bay District Health Board’s acting chair says the board has met with CEO Dr Kevin Snee and had an update on the health response to the current gastro illness outbreak.
Mr Tomoana said “We are confident in the DHB response to this significant event. We were given a comprehensive overview of work and effort going in across the whole Hawke’s Bay health sector who are working with the many sick people in our community. We also have a greater appreciation of the way the sector has worked together at this difficult time.”
The Board extends its thanks to all DHB staff, health service managers, general practice teams, district nurses and public health staff, pharmacists and those working in aged residential care for their efforts helping those affected by the outbreak.
It’s at times like this that you appreciate how dedicated, hard working and committed our teams across the Hawke’s Bay health sector are. We thank you all for the great work you are doing.
