Description

The Western Bay of Plenty Primary Health Organisation (WBOP PHO) is a non-profit organisation that supports and delivers primary health care and wellness services through general practices, iwi partners and community providers from Katikati to Whakatāne. We achieve this by planning, funding and coordinating services, projects and programmes alongside our partners.
 
We are a 50/50 joint venture between Ngāi Te Rangi iwi, Ngāti Ranginui iwi and Western Bay of Plenty Primary Care Providers Inc (Providers Inc), the organisation representing our local general practices partners. We operate with the approval and funding of Te Whatu Ora | Health New Zealand, as well as support from independent funders for new or extended services that meet community needs.
 
We are here to keep our communities well. We do this by actively supporting our provider network, focusing on local health needs and removing barriers to access, strengthening the link between general practice and hospitals, and building data and digital capability to improve care. We also manage a wide range of regional contracts, delivering services like outreach immunisation, primary mental health support and school health services.
