Keith Paora Curry (sometimes Keith Paul Curry) was the first male nurse in New Zealand's Plunket maternal health service. On 23 May 2005, the Northland Polytechnic-trained bilingual nurse with 10 years nursing experience started work at the Plunket Society, New Zealand's century-old maternal health organisation.[1][2][3]

In May 2010 Curry was sentenced to a year in prison for internet grooming a 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl between June and September 2009.[4] Curry was also disciplined in 2011 for giving a pregnant woman inappropriate drugs in July 2009.[5] Neither occurred while he was working for Plunket. Curry has been struck off the nurse's register under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.[6]

On 29 July 2014, the NZ Sensible Sentencing Trust advised the public via Facebook that Curry had changed his name to Paora Muriwai-Curry.[7]
