Māori Health Innovation
Māori Health Innovation is about taking what we know works for Māori, proving it’s effective and letting the whole sector learn from it. It’s also about challenging the sector to consider the wider issues affecting the health and wellbeing of Māori and being truly innovative in service design, implementation, recruitment and resourcing.
