General questions

The Taranaki Health Foundation is a charitable organisation founded in 1998 in partnership with the Taranaki District Health Board.

Registered chairtity number: CC35089

The Taranaki Health Foundation’s purpose is to support the development of enhanced healthcare services, for all people within Taranaki. We are dedicated to developing enhanced healthcare services for the region.

The Taranaki Health Foundation runs on a very tight budget. However, as with any business, there are expenses that can’t be avoided. Where possible we work with our Operational Partners to provide services in-kind or at a reduced rate. Any remaining expenses are covered by budget from Te Whatu Ora Taranaki.

Te Whatu Ora funds a certain level of healthcare based on the region’s population. Most of that funding goes into staffing and operational costs. That leaves a little left over for new equipment or providing services beyond what the hospital is meant to provide based on its size and the population it serves.
