On a beautiful sunny morning in March, we officially welcomed our Te Hiku ō Te Ika Rongoā Māori practitioners into the fold of Kaitaia Hospital to deliver their traditional Rongoā Māori services. This is one of three recently funded Rongoā Māori pilot programmes across Te Tai Tokerau.
The second pilot will offer these Rongoā services at Rawene Hospital and the third through clinics in Haruru, Motatau, Otangarei and Kaiwaka.
In 2018/19, Northland DHB, former Māori Health general manager Harold Wereta, undertook a number of consultation hui with whānau throughout the rohe. The key question asked was, “How do you see whānau in the future”.
There will be anxiety, anger – blame even. All those emotions you expect when something like this happens.

The new Covid-19 case was announced on Sunday. But Kaipo said the anger wouldn’t be directed at the woman who had tested positive – it would be directed towards the system. “It was a system failure. That s what needs to be looked at. “We need to have a good hard look at our border control. You know a lot of countries are already shutting their doors to people returning from these at-risk countries, with all these new strains popping up. We [New Zealand] need to have a good look at that, I believe.”
