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