Pukeora Tuberculosis Sanatorium was a Tuberculosis hospital in the Hawke’s Bay New Zealand.The sanatorium was built in 1918 on the hillside site between Takapau and Waipukurau to care for soldiers returning from World War I. A few years later the hospital started treating the general public for TB. The cure for tuberculosis back in those days was fresh air which is why the property is built up on the hill. The verandahs and shacks provided easy access to this.
