Ka Ora Telecare is an after-hours video and over-the-phone service that supports the health of people living in or visiting rural communities.

You will be greeted by a Kaiāwhina or a Nurse, who will assess your health needs for free. You can then either see a clinician directly or you may also choose to schedule an appointment later in the evening.

All appointments are free for tamariki under 14 years old. If you are 14 years old or older and need to speak with a nurse practitioner or doctor, there will be a charge – details of these are on the Ka Ora website 👉 http://spr.ly/6189fjb9T

You can speak with the Ka Ora service by calling 0800 252 672.

Ka Ora is open:
• Weekdays overnight from 5pm – 8am
• Weekends and public holidays – 24 hours

Every drop counts 🩸
We followed a New Zealand Blood Service team member donating blood for the first time to show you just how easy it is!

As winter rolls in, many regular donors are unable to make their appointments, but the need for blood and plasma remains high. NZ Blood needs 43,380 donations before winter ends to keep Health NZ's hospitals stocked and patients supported.

Whether you're a first-time donor or a regular, one extra donation this season can make a real difference.

✅ Check if you're eligible: nzblood.co.nz/become-a-donor/am-i-eligible/eligibility-quiz
📍 Book your spot: nzblood.co.nz/booking

Tag a friend who should see this and help us get those donations up!
