Health Protection

Toi Te Ora’s Health Protection services are about protecting people, preventing harm and planning for threats.  Our Health Protection Officers work includes environmental health which covers all aspects of the natural and built environment that may affect human health, communicable disease, chronic disease management and health services planning. 

There is a very close relationship between people and their environment. It's our environment, and our responsibility.

Toi Te Ora  - Public Health Service has three Medical Officers of Health who are trained as specialists in public health medicine and play a supportive leadership role in guiding the health protection unit.

If you are planning to visit the Bay of Plenty or Lakes regions, read our information sheet for helpful tips and local knowledge to help keep you healthy and safe during your visit.
