Membership Groupings

While the focus of NZIHE membership is the pursuit of excellence in health estate and engineering management, a natural division of responsibilities exists between those whose key responsibilities involve medical facilities and those whose key responsibilities involve medical equipment.

The Institute recognises two major streams of membership, being Facilities and Biomedical and this website reflects these streams with two separated information steams.
