Researchers from Te Weu Tairāwhiti Charitable Trust and Waipapa Taumata Rau - the University of Auckland have received $1,000,000 funding from Manatu Hauora - Ministry of Health to develop a better understanding of the scope and scale of the health and wellbeing impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle on affected communities in Hawke's Bay and Tairāwhiti. The funding is the result of a request for proposal commissioned earlier this year. "By bringing together research expertise and established community networks within the Hawke's Bay and Tairāwhiti regions we will be able to better to understand how those communities were impacted and how the health system can best respond," says Dr Ian Town, Chief Science Advisor at Manatū Hauora.
