Māori responsiveness
"These videos, a series from the Health Quality & Safety Commission, are of Māori telling their stories about engaging with health care services.
The korero range from individuals that have received treatment themselves through to people that have supported their loved ones through their treatment for a health condition.
All of the participants work within a Māori health service so their perspective encompasses a Māori world view both as a consumer and provider of services. The taonga they have shared is considered a gift to us all working in health."
Dianne Wepa, Senior Clinical Workforce Coordinator – Maori Health
