Multigate New Zealand is proud to announce a new client partnership with Forté Health in Christchurch, NZ!
18 August 2025
Forté Health, New Zealand's first and only Net Carbon Zero hospital, is now using Multigate custom procedure packs as part of their surgical setup — enhancing sustainability in their operating theatres.
By partnering with Multigate, Forté Health has significantly reduced their carbon footprint by transitioning from imported packs sourced from Australia to our locally manufactured solutions here in New Zealand!
Partnering for a Greener Future
This partnership is part of a broader trend toward greener healthcare.
Hospitals worldwide are actively seeking ways to reduce waste and emissions, and Forté Health’s collaboration with us highlights how local innovation and strong partnerships can drive real progress in sustainable healthcare.
As Melanie Slattery, Multigate Country Manager states:
“Multigate have enjoyed working with Forté Health. Sustainability has been front of mind throughout and we have established a true partnership that will continue to grow and mature with our common goals.”
Karen Morris, Inventory Manager
“This is the first time since I’ve been back in the industry that I’ve seen what feels like a genuine partnership. I think that’s the difference between Multigate and other suppliers out there. We’re working closely together to come up with new ways of doing things that not only benefit our patients and staff but also the environment.”
“Nothing was off the table in terms of how Multigate could support our business and our staff. They listened to all aspects of the company from procurement and finance through to theatre.”
“This partnership is about rethinking sustainability. From a partnership perspective we’re all driving to make everything more sustainable. We’ve got the same goals with where we’re heading and what we’re trying to achieve.”
Tanya Power, Nurse and Anaesthetic Technician
“These packs assist us clinically by streamlining our setup processes, reducing preparation time and minimising waste, whilst also contributing to a more effective surgical workflow.”
“This change in supplier is another exciting step in the journey of continuous improvement and reducing our hospital's environmental impact.”
For us at Multigate NZ, this partnership is a reflection of how we believe the healthcare supply industry should operate: with transparency, collaboration, and a shared vision for improvement.
We want to sincerely thank the entire team at Forté Health for their trust, openness, and commitment throughout this process, as well as our dedicated Multigate team whose hard work and passion have made this partnership possible.
We look forward to continuing this journey with Forté Health as we explore more ways to innovate, support local healthcare, and lead meaningful change across the industry!
