to keep children well and out of hospital
Keeping children well and out of hospital could start with a bucket of housekeeping tools and guidance on how to use them.
It is part of the Kāinga Whakatipu scheme recently launched by Te Whatu Ora in MidCentral to help keep people, especially children, warm, dry and safe in their homes.
Programme director Angela Rainham said the scheme had been extended from earlier successful versions of Healthy Homes in other districts.
MidCentral had missed out on qualifying when the focus was on children at risk of rheumatic fever, because the statistics in the district were not considered bad enough.
