Vision


To be the leading primary healthcare provider in the provision of affordable, accessible, culturally competent and high quality healthcare services to New Zealand communities.
Mission

To cater to the high health needs of all peoples living in the South Auckland community and wider Auckland region. We do this because we want our patients to be the healthiest and happiest they can be.

Our business is based on the principle that health can only be improved by building strong relationships with patients. Our long-standing links with patients allows for a true understanding of the challenges our communities face and enables health service delivery and staff training to be tailored appropriately.

This patient-centric philosophy along with a can-do attitude has enabled ETHC to respond to the vision and needs of the Ministry of Health as well as the Counties Manukau District Health Board.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi and The Ottawa Charter are the core documents from which our principles and values are based, and we are committed to directing our work to reflect this.
