The Outer Islands Health Services Directorate is responsible for providing accessible and equitable health care services in the Outer Islands.  A key focus is on preventative and basic curative primary and secondary health care services.

The objective is to achieve results through the provision of a selected range of services from the Community Health and Hospital Health outputs above whether locally or through facilitating access to advanced primary, secondary, tertiary, and rehabilitative health care specialist visits to the outer islands, or referral to Rarotonga.
