Māori health organisations

Māori health organisations are dedicated groups that work to improve the health and well-being of Māori people, recognizing their unique cultural identity and needs. They provide healthcare services, support, and advocacy tailored to Māori values, practices, and perspectives. These organisations aim to reduce health disparities, promote self-determination, and ensure Māori have access to culturally appropriate care. They often collaborate with government agencies and communities to address social determinants of health, such as housing, education, and employment, fostering holistic approaches that respect Māori tikanga (customs) and whanau (family) structures.
