Timeline

1973

Lance O'Sullivan (born 1973) is a New Zealand Māori doctor (Te Rarawa, Ngati Hau, Ngati Maru) formerly practising in Kaitaia, Northland.

He is also an author, public speaker and public health advocate.

2001

O'Sullivan graduated from Auckland Medical School in 2001.

After graduating from medical school, O'Sullivan went to work in the Bay of Plenty where doctors working in isolated and deprived places like Murupara and Kaingaroa influenced him.

After five years in the Bay of Plenty,

he was offered a job by a Kaitaia Māori health provider and returned "home" to his iwi affiliations, namely Te Rarawa, through his grandmother from Pukepoto.

2012

In 2012 O'Sullivan had a public falling out with his employer after a difference of opinion over how to deal with patients who couldn't afford to pay for medical treatment.

On 19 November 2012 O'Sullivan and his wife, Tracy, set up the low-cost health clinic "Te Kohanga Whakaora" (The Nest of Wellness).

The clinic was based in the Kaitaia Hospital.

The aim was to make basic healthcare accessible for people in the Far North who were unable to afford it.

The clinic had emergency prescription funds donated from New Zealanders around the country.

In October 2012 O'Sullivan started the MOKO programme ("Manawa Ora Korokoro Ora" healthy heart, healthy throat), Northland's first full-time, school-based health clinic providing medical care to 2000 children within a 25 km radius of Kaitaia.

Health Ministry provided support with additional funding from the charity KidsCan..

The program focuses primarily on preventing rheumatic fever by taking a throat swab from every child with a sore throat.

The programme also provides basic medical care for nits, skin and chest infections with nurses and health workers visiting each primary and intermediate school three times a week.

There are also two GP sessions each week to take care of more complex cases.

The "Kainga Ora (Well Home)" initiative promotes the idea that wellness begins in safe, warm homes.

The initiative commenced in 2012 when O'Sullivan drove around Kaitaia and called in to some of the most rundown looking houses.

He found families living with children who were sick due to the condition of their homes.

He recruited labour and donated materials to help repair the homes.

2013

In 2013 O'Sullivan was declared Ngā Toa Whakaihuwaka (Supreme Māori of the year), and in 2014 he was declared New Zealander of the Year 2014 for bringing health programmes to disadvantaged in rural areas.

O'Sullivan grew up in the Auckland suburb of Howick and was raised by his single Pākehā mother after she left his alcoholic and violent father.

His sister, Nikki, is three years older.

He attended school at Pakuranga College and Timaru Boys' High School.

Each school expelled him before his mother sent him to Hato Petera College as a boarder.

O'Sullivan completed his high school education as dux, head boy, sports champ and a kapa haka star.

After graduating from Hato Petera College he spent 2 years working for Customs after dropping out of a science degree programme and becoming a father.

At the age of 21 he was accepted into Auckland Medical School.

With his wife Tracy, he set up a company Navilluso Medical, which set up the MOKO foundation in 2013.

The MOKO foundation started a number of healthcare initiatives..

2014

iMOKO started in 2014 as an extension the vMOKO programme.

Trained nurses and health workers collected data including photographs and forward it to O'Sullivan's practice in Kaitaia.

Photographs were taken as required and O'Sullivan provided a diagnosis or passed the data on for a higher-level diagnosis.

iMOKO also provides the capability to send required prescriptions to a nearby pharmacy for collection.

The programme saves families long trips to the clinic at Kaitaia, runs efficiently, and can detect disease in the early stages.

2016

By November 2016, 4000 children in approximately 35 early childhood centres, Kōhanga Reo, primary, intermediate and secondary schools participated in this healthcare model.

2017

In 2017, two virtual health clinics were opened: the first in the doctor-less town of Patea; the second in Kaitaia.

The clinics enable patients to attend and access healthcare under the iMOKO model with the assistance of trained healthcare workers.

In November 2017 the Accident Compensation Corporation and the Ministry of Health announced they would provide O'Sullivan's company, Navilluso Medical, NZ$1.4 million over two years to develop its MaiHealth model

2018

In March 2018 O'Sullivan announced that he was moving his business to Auckland, citing the difficulties of growing such a business in a rural area.
