Addressing health inequities is already embedded in our organisational culture, policies and procedures but we are continually working to improve our approach and understanding of Māori and Pasifika.
We have designated Māori staff members who work determinedly and effectively in the background educating staff and informing management of issues. Their role also includes connecting with Māori hauora organisations and working collaboratively with government agencies to deliver on New Zealand’s He Korowai Oranga: Māori Health Strategy and more recently Whakamaua – Māori Health Action Plan 2020-2025.
