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”.
