Wonderful seeing all the photos of people and place with this #CommunityControl success story, and an opportunity to reflect on how communities, services & health teams have responded to #COVID19
"Bulgarr Ngaru has not only managed to protect its people from the virus, but continued caring for patients – perhaps not quite in the usual way, but with the same ethos and commitment as ever.... #CommunityControl#OurHealthOurWay
