In this edition of Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui

World Breastfeeding Week starts on 1 August, and this year's theme shines a light on workplaces. We hear from one of our own who shares her experience of returning to working and having to express for her baby and from another mother who donates to our NICU Human Milk Bank.

Also, in this edition, we profile four extraordinary kaimahi retiring after long and distinguished health careers. Te Whatu Ora staff have only a few days left to complete the Fitness Passport survey and help design a Te Whatu Ora exclusive fitness programme.

This week's akoranga reo Māori looks at traditional musical instruments, and the quiz has a musical theme too.

You can read the Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui in two different formats:
