Pilot Asian perinatal support programme sees more new parents helped in Waitematā

Mildred Armah Reporter from North Shore Times

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.
