New Zealand’s Director General of Health, Dr Diana Sarfati, has said she will leave her role on Feb. 21, making her the third senior figure to resign from Health NZ in the space of a week.

The first to depart was Chief Executive Fepulea'i Margie Apa on Feb. 7. She ended her contract four months early “by mutual agreement” with Commissioner Lester Levy and left immediately.
