He Korowai Oranga: Māori Health Strategy sets the overarching framework to guide the Government and the health and disability to achieve the best outcomes for Māori.
He Korowai Oranga is a web-based strategy that will be updated regularly. This guide will help you to navigate the strategy and provides a description of its various elements – including its overarching aim: Pae Ora – Healthy futures for Māori.
Purpose
Good health and wellbeing in an environment that supports a good quality of life. Pae ora encourages everyone in the health and disability sector to work collaboratively, to think beyond narrow definitions of health, and to provide high-quality and effective services.
Pae ora is a holistic concept and includes three interconnected elements: mauri ora – healthy individuals; whānau ora – healthy families; and wai ora – healthy environments. All three elements of pae ora are interconnected and mutually reinforcing, and further strengthen the strategic direction for Māori health for the future.
