Lavinia Perumal
Northern Region Clinical Director
Ko Maungakiekie te maunga e rū nei taku ngākau.
Ko Muriwai te moana e mahea nei aku māharahara.
Nō Marehia ahau, E mihi ana ki ngā tohu o nehe, o Tāmaki Makaurau e noho nei au.
Ko Perumal Ramasamy toku papa, Ko Janaki Sundram toku mama.
Ko Malcolm Paterson toku hoa rangatira, Ko Davin raua ko Taimāro taku tama.
Ko Lavinia Perumal ahau.
Kia ora and vanakam.
I have the privilege of being the Northern Region Clinical Director - National Public Health Service.
I am an experienced New Zealand trained public health medicine specialist, medical officer of health and a champion of health equity, Māori health, and diversity.
My interests include tuberculosis control, migrant and refugee health, health leadership and lifelong medical education.
Life-wise, I am deeply passionate about my whānau, my tama, and enjoying everything the natural environment in Aotearoa has to offer. You will often find me chatting with colleagues, singing in the corridors, sharing home-baking and indulging in one too many coffees.
