About
The name of the Association is Aotearoa Tongan Health Workers’ Association Incorporated (“ATHWA”), trading name AKIHEUHO. Our vision is to have a healthy and prosperous Tongan and Pacific community in New Zealand and abroad.

Story
Akiheuho (ATHWA) was registered as an Incorporated Society in 2005. Forums had started earlier on identifying the need for a Tongan Health Workers Association to be formed in response to the rising unmet health needs of the Tongan community both in New Zealand and back in Tonga. Its members have since been holding regular meetings, conferences and workshops in setting up the association with willingness, capacity and capability.

Principles:

ATHWA is committed to the key themes and adopted principles of the October Resolution (Appendix iii) as a basis for the ongoing engagement with its key stakeholders:
