The Canterbury District Health Board (Canterbury DHB or CDHB; Māori: Te Poari Hauora ō Waitaha) was a district health board with the focus on providing healthcare to the Canterbury region of New Zealand, north of the Rangitata River. It was responsible for roughly 579,000 residents, or 12% of New Zealand's population. The Canterbury District Health Board covered a territory of 26,881 square kilometers and was divided between six territorial local authorities.[7] In July 2022, the Canterbury DHB was merged into the national health service Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand).
