New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association
The New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association (NZPSHA) was established in 2005 to represent the interests of private surgical hospitals’ within New Zealand. Members were previously represented by the New Zealand Private Hospitals Association (NZPHA).
NZPSHA promotes excellence in healthcare and our mission is promoting, positioning and connecting the private surgical hospital sector in New Zealand.
NZPSHA membership hospitals undertake approximately 206,165 surgical discharges per annum representing around 66% of all elective surgery performed in New Zealand. That proportion of elective surgery is growing in response to the increasing needs of New Zealand’s ageing population and the constraints on the ability of the public sector to meet those needs.
Unuhia te pō, te pō whiri mārama
Tomoki ate ao, tea o whatu tāngata
Tātia ki runga, tātai ki raro, tātai aho rau
Haumi e, hui e, tāika e!
From confusion comes understanding
From understanding comes unity
We are interwoven, we are interconnected
We are interwoven, we are connected,
Together as one!
Better Care Starts with Us
