A directive to "Contract for Health" transpired from an urgent need to address the seriousness of a disease known to us as "Familial Gastric Cancer".

Successful negotiations and contracts for health were gained by the Kimihauora Health & Research Unit.

We offer our gratitude to the various organisations for enabling us to create, develop and contribute to the betterment of the future and the present in which a major milestone has been achieved.
