A Pacific Approach to Healthcare - Pasifika Integrated Family Medical Centre

Family Health Care

It has been a tough year for families since the recession and most people are still feeling the effects of it. However families shouldn’t put their health at risk especially during the winter time, when there is an affordable family medical clinic just in Milford.

Pasifika is very competitively priced and going to see a GP is more affordable than you think. If you and your family enrol with Pasifika you will be charged subsidised consultation rates depending on your age.

Pasifika Integrated Family Medical Centre is located on the ground floor at 1 Nile Road in Milford and has taken the North Shore community by storm!

Pasifika has been open now for three years and in these three years enrolled patient numbers have increased at a steady pace. This is due to the quality modern clinic and exceptional doctors and nurses that provide excellent service at economical prices.

Pasifika offers affordable GP health care to everyone especially those who are on a tight budget.

The purpose of Pasifika Integrated Family Medical Centre is to help the community by reaching out to the underprivileged and the people who struggle to pay higher consultation fees at other medical clinics. However everyone is welcome to come and see the GPs.

The fees at Pasifika are government subsidised, meaning the consultations are less costly and more pocket friendly.

Behind the initiative is the Pasifika Integrated Health Care Limited - an existing company of about nine years providing disability health support services, and other community-based health support programmes.

Supporting this service growth pathway is the Waitemata District Health Board and ProCare. The medical centre has signed an agreement to register with ProCare as its PrimaryHealth Organisation (PHO).

Despite having a Polynesian ‘business name’, the Pasifika Integrated Family Medical Centre is for anyone and everyone.

They also offer immunisation for kids which is absolutely free for children under six years of age. For kids from 6-11 they charge only $5 and for 11-18 it is $10 only. So there is no excuse not to bring your children for just a regular check-up.

Pasifika has also launched a new initiative called the Nurse Lead Self Management Programme. This is a free service and everyone is welcome.

The purpose of this service is to give clients the power to monitor their own health needs with the help and support of a fully New Zealand registered nurse. Contact them now to see how this new initiative can assist you.

With winter truly upon us it’s time to ask how they can provide subsidies influenza vaccinations that won’t cost you and your family an arm and a leg.

It is free to enrol at Pasifika and their friendly and very experienced team are there to cater for your all your health needs.

The medical centre is located on the Ground Floor 1 Nile Road, Milford, on the corner of Nile and Forrest Hill Roads just opposite the Plant Barn.
