Tongan Health Society

The Tongan Health Society (THS) is a prominent Pacific healthcare and social services provider based in Auckland, New Zealand. Established in 1997, the society operates several Langimālie Integrated Family Health Centres, providing culturally appropriate primary care, mental health, and social support services to the Tongan and broader Pacific communities. Beyond clinical services, THS has expanded into medical research through its Langimālie Research Centre, which collaborates with international partners like Variant Bio and local universities to study the genetic basis of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, gout, and chronic kidney disease. The organization is recognized for its innovative village model of care and its leadership in public health initiatives, including significant COVID-19 vaccination and rheumatic fever prevention programs.
