Aotearoa Manaaki Mana Strategy

The vision of this strategy is that emergency departments in Aotearoa New Zealand will embody Pae Ora, providing excellent, culturally safe care to Māori, in an environment where Māori patients, whānau and staff feel valued, and where leaders actively seek to eliminate inequities.
ACEM is honoured to have been gifted the name Manaaki Mana for this strategy by Dame R. Naida Glavish, Ngāti Whātua me ngā Ngāti Hine. We thank Dame Naida for this generous gift

HUTIA TE RITO O TE HARAKEKE,
KEI WHEA TE KŌMAKO E KŌ, KĪ MAI KĪ AHAU
HE AHA TE MEA NUI O TE AO, MĀKU E KĪ ATU
HE TĀNGATA, HE TĀNGATA, HE TĀNGATA
 
If the heart of harakeke was removed, where will the bellbird sing?
If I was asked, what was the most important thing in the world;
I would reply, It is people, it is people, it is people.
