Only 54.9% of eligible wāhine Māori are receiving breast screening in our rohe. 📉

That's a massive gap compared to non-Māori. This is a life-saving inequity that must be addressed. Whānau mā, check in with the wāhine in your lives. Catch up, connect and have that conversation about getting checked.

It's the season for gathering kaimoana! We respect that everyone has different tikanga and practices when in the realm of tangaroa. We came across this karakia and wanted to share it for whānau doing the mahi out on the moana!

A big mihi to All Gear No Idea for this special share! Kia ora!

There is a common whakaaro that Māori are less susceptible to melanoma. While Māori have a lower rate of melanoma diagnosis than non-Māori, the kōrero must shift to what happens next.

The facts? Māori are 2.6 times more likely to die from melanoma once diagnosed compared to non-Māori. This is often the largest survival disparity of any cancer in Aotearoa.

👉🏽 Take any new or changing spot seriously, regardless of location. Follow the common rules of Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap to protect yourself, and see your doctor immediately if you notice a change.

The long days of Raumati are a perfect time to prioritise taha whānau from our Māori health model, Te Whare Tapa Whā. Strong, loving connections are the foundation of Whānau Ora (holistic family health).

✨ Ngā mihi o te tau hou Pākehā! Greetings for the New Year!

As the sun rises this morning, we send our wishes for a year filled with love, care, and abundant health to you all.

For Te Taura Ora o Waiariki, the new year is a renewed commitment to our mandate: to listen to your voice and drive meaningful change in the health system for our rohe.

We are reminded of Hiwa-i-te-Rangi, the star that connects to our hopes and dreams. Our collective aspiration is a year in which our whānau have greater access to quality, culturally grounded healthcare and the support needed to thrive.

Let us step into this year together, united in our mission for a healthier future 🧡

Our recent Toitū Hauora Symposium in Taupō brought iwi leaders and hauora partners together to explore tribal health self-governance in Aotearoa. Our Chair, Hingatu Thompson, was a keynote speaker at the event.

From learning lessons from 30+ years of tribal-led healthcare in the USA to discussing opportunities here at home, we explored how Te Taura Ora and iwi commissioning can support iwi-led governance, investment, and policy advocacy - strengthening rangatiratanga in hauora and improving outcomes for our whānau.
