Maori health
Although Maori health patterns have improved slightly over recent years, there is still a significant gap between the health status of the Maori and the non-Maori population. In 1984 the Department of Health conceived the hui whakaoranga and invited Maori people and health providers to come together and discuss a Maori view of health and consider what initiatives and policies would best meet the special needs of the Maori. On Sunday this week "Koha” looks at three separate and quite unique health initiatives
set up and run by Maori with the aim of promoting better health. “In the course of the programme we found that separate . Maori health Initiatives were being run in the early part of this century by Princess Te Puea and others,” said the reporter, Lawrence Wharerau. The programme discusses how modern initiatives are meeting their own challenges, what has contributed to Maori ill health, and who has the ultimate responsibility for improving Maori health. "Koha” screens on Sundays at 7.41 on One.
