Māori Health (New Zealand)

Māori health in New Zealand refers to the well-being of the indigenous Māori people, considering their physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural health. It recognizes that health is influenced not only by medical factors but also by social, economic, and environmental conditions. The goal is to address disparities, promote equitable access to healthcare, and honor Māori cultural values and practices. Efforts include culturally appropriate services, community involvement, and policies aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities between Māori and non-Māori populations.
