Maori health disparities

Maori health disparities refer to the unequal health outcomes between Maori people and others in New Zealand. Maori often experience higher rates of chronic illnesses, mental health issues, and shorter life expectancy. These disparities are influenced by factors like historical injustices, socioeconomic disadvantages, limited access to healthcare, and cultural differences in health practices. Addressing these disparities requires understanding and respecting Maori culture, improving healthcare accessibility, and tackling social determinants of health to ensure equitable wellbeing for Maori communities.
