New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association
The NZPSHA was established in 2005 and our members are private facilities providing essential surgical services across Aotearoa. We connect the private surgical hospital sector, represent it on collective issues and promote excellence in healthcare.
​
On behalf of our members, NZPSHA seeks to engage with long term planning and partnerships in the delivery of planned care. Private Hospitals are part of the solution to address long waiting lists for elective surgery and we embrace whole-of-sector collaboration, to achieve better outcomes for patients and the health system.

Private surgical hospitals can support Government to reduce growing pressure on the public health system. In partnership, we can provide joint public-private solutions to the ever-growing financial and capacity constraint pressures.
​
Whole-of-sector approaches can work well as was demonstrated effectively during the COVID-19 response in early 2020. NZPSHA hospitals are an additional resource with the relevant capability to work effectively alongside the challenged public health sector.
