He Kāmaka Waiora Māori Health Services
In 2011 a bilateral initiative was launched to improve the quality of health service delivery across both the Auckland and Waitematā District Health Boards. The initiative's goal is to improve the health outcomes of Māori by helping hospitals deliver better health outcomes for Māori, by retaining Māori who become healthcare professionals and to improve healthcare practices.
From this He Kāmaka Oranga, Auckland DHB and Mo Wai Te Ora, Waitematā DHB became He Kāmaka Waiora Māori Health Services across Auckland and Waitematā DHBs.
The introduction of practices based on tikanga Māori have made a significant contribution to Māori Health gain in the region.
From July 2022 we are now Te Whatu Ora Health NZ. In the Auckland District Te Toka Tumai and Waitematā District our service name is He Kāmaka Waiora Māori Health Provider Service.
