He Korowai Oranga is the health system’s guide to improving Māori health and realising pae ora – healthy futures.
The 4 pathways of the original He Korowai Oranga framework continue to tell us how to implement the strategy. These pathways are:
- Supporting whānau, hapū, iwi and community development,
- Supporting Māori participation at all levels of the health and disability sector,
- Ensuring effective health service delivery,
- Working across sectors.
Services are listed here to help in those pathways. They are targeted to, or specifically helpful to, Māori and whanau. You can access most of the services listed without a referral letter from your doctor.
Even if a referral is needed the provider or service will help and guide you to ensure your health needs are met, and your questions answered. It might be helpful to talk to them first to understand the services offered before making an appointment with your doctor to request the referral letter.
If your particular needs are not on this list, please make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your situation. The doctor may have information about other health and well-being services catering specifically to Māori for which a referral letter is needed.
