The need to revitalise the Counties Manukau District Health Board and the importance of providing more financial and human capital to enable increased accessibility and deliver quality service have prompted many members of our communities to contest in the ongoing District Health Board Elections.
Among them is Sally Wong, who is known for her selfless service and for promoting the qualities of Love, Care, Understanding and Peace that are embedded in the teachings of Gautama Buddha.
She is seeking election to the Counties Manukau District Health Board as a member of the C & R Team, with the motto, ‘Health is Wealth.’
Sally said that she is also a strong supporter of reliable, quality healthcare treatment facilities made available closer to people’s homes.
“The Counties Manukau District Board should focus on healthy living, communicating well in the right language and meeting the needs of diverse cultural group,” she said.
“As a part of the C&R Team, I will use my professional expertise to ensure that our District Health Board receives its fair share of government funding and spends it wisely. Our community will be richer by working together to deliver a health system that focuses on the things that matter,” she said.
