Rina Moore. (Geoffrey C. Wood Studio, Nelson). THE STATE OF MAORI HEALTH by RINA MOORE M.B., Ch.B. This paper was presented by Dr Moore in the South Island Conference of Young Maori Leaders held at Christchurch, 19th–21st August, 1960. A discussion of Maori Health must cover a very wide ground indeed; it entails a discussion of the physical health of the people, and the mental health of the people. In a sense, health is the physical and mental reaction to our environment, and in order to discuss health, we must also discuss certain aspects which will come up in the agenda laid down for this conference. We have to discuss housing and over-population because these are the fundamental factors behind Maori health, or perhaps we should call it ill-health, today.
