You could also call this:

"A plan to improve the health of Māori people"

Illustration for Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022

The Minister must prepare and determine a Hauora Māori Strategy. You can think of this strategy as a plan to help improve the health of Māori people. The purpose of the Hauora Māori Strategy is to guide health entities in improving Māori health outcomes. The Hauora Māori Strategy must contain some important information, including an assessment of the current state of Māori health outcomes. It must also look at medium to long-term trends that will affect the health of Māori people. The strategy will set out priorities for services and health sector improvements relating to hauora Māori, including workforce development. The Hauora Māori Strategy can include other things too, not just the things listed. You can find more information about the changes made to this section in the Pae Ora (Disestablishment of Māori Health Authority) Amendment Act 2024.
