Research
Waikato DHB aims to be a centre of excellence in research - including clinical research and participation in national and international clinical trials, academic research for professional development, as well as research that drives social and cultural change and service delivery improvements for the people in our health district.
The diversity and geographical span of the Waikato health district provides many opportunities for innovative and collaborative research.
