Why Māia Health Foundation?

Why Māia Health Foundation?
We all depend on Canterbury's health system. Let's make it
world-class together.
Here for our community.
Māia Health Foundation has unveiled its 2025 Impact Report, highlighting how community support has directly enhanced healthcare services and patient experiences since 2016.
The report demonstrates the tangible difference local generosity has made, with funding supporting a diverse range of initiatives from cutting-edge medical equipment acquisitions to significant facility upgrades designed to improve comfort and care for both patients and their whānau.
Health systems around the globe are under pressure. There will never be enough public funds to do everything we need or want, meanwhile advances in health care create a growing wish-list.
To have a world-class health system, we need to bring our community together to provide the extra support our health system needs.
In Canterbury, we have unique challenges to face. An older population than the rest of New Zealand, a large geographical spread, and a community that’s faced more than a decade of external events that have tested us all.
It’s time for us to be bold, to stand up for the health of our community and our future. It’s time for innovative thinking about health funding.
Hear why people support us.
