Director-General of Health Diana Sarfati will step down from her role next Friday, the Ministry of Health has confirmed.
Her departure marks the latest in a series of rapid resignations from top health leadership positions, signaling ongoing instability within the sector.
In a statement on the Ministy’s website, Sarfati said, “It is now time to allow someone new to take up the mantle of one of the most challenging and rewarding roles within the health sector.
“Now, having made the decision to go, I have decided to leave promptly.
“My final day will be Friday 21 February. I will be taking some time out with family and friends before considering other opportunities.
2I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone working in health for the tremendous job they do – day in, day out.
“The challenge of restructuring and unifying an entire health system is not to be underestimated. I want to acknowledge the incredible people who I have worked with across the sector who give their all every day.”

Dropping like flies ha
Good riddance to another state corporate stooge, who try to sell poisons as “safe and effective”.
Only the truly sick manage the sickest roles long term
Haven’t they just ballsed up NZ Health beyond recognition?
