Pilot Asian perinatal support programme sees more new parents helped in Waitematā
Asian perinatal health referrals have increased in one Auckland health district, thanks to a pilot programme launched in January.
The Healthy Mother Healthy Future (HMHF) Asian perinatal wellbeing project, funded by the Ministry of Health to increase maternal health outcomes, has seen a 4.2% increase of Asian mental health referrals in Waitematā.
Historically, the region has had a “very low” Asian maternal mental health referral rate of 13.3% – despite Asian-newborn babies representing 31% of births in the area, Grace Ryu, Asian health services operations manager, said.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
