Regional public health services are delivered by 12 public health units (PHUs), which were owned by district health boards until these were replaced by Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand and Te Aka Whai Ora Māori Health Authority in 2022. Non-governmental organisations also deliver some of these services. PHUs concentrate on major public-health services, such as tobacco control and health promotion. This map shows the boundaries of each PHU in 2011.
