Description
Aramoho Health Centre (AHC) is committed to the bicultural and bilingual status of Aotearoa. We stand by the principles of partnership, participation, and protection as enshrined in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. AHC’s aim is to improve the health and health equity outcomes of Māori and all New Zealanders, regardless of race, beliefs, or origin.
We live and breathe Whanganui and support the tikanga of all the people that make our town great, including our Rainbow community. Everyone has the right to be treated fairly and with respect, and those who do not have a voice should look to those who do to defend their rights.
AHC respects and enables all tangata to have agency over their own health outcomes. We acknowledge the persistent and systemic inequities within the health system and aspire to lead transformative change and foster an aspirational culture.

All women and people with a cervix aged 25 – 69 who have ever had intimate skin-to-skin contact or been sexually active should have regular cervical screening. This includes women who have been immunised against HPV. Together, regular screening and HPV immunisation provide the best protection against cervical cancer. There are now more options for how you have cervical screening done: a simple vaginal swab test for HPV, either done yourself or with help from a healthcare professional a cervical sample taken by a healthcare professional (used to be known as a smear test). Talk with your healthcare provider to decide which option is best for you. If HPV is found, you may need to have a follow-up test or be referred directly for colposcopy. If you’ve not yet had HPV testing, you should be screened 3 years after your last test (or 1 year if immune deficient). Once you have had an HPV test, and providing HPV is not found, your next screening will be in 5 years (or 3 years if immune deficient).
