Ina ka tangi koutou, ka tangi hoki mātou.
Ka mamae koutou, ka mamae hoki mātou.
Otira, ka menemene koutou, ka menemene tahi tātou katoa.
When you cry, we also cry.
When you hurt, we hurt too.
But when you smile, we smile together.
Manaaki Mana remains ACEM’s commitment to excellence in emergency care for Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand. The name Manaaki Mana has been gifted to ACEM by Dame Rangimarie Naida Glavish DNZM, JP Ngāti Whātua me Ngāti Hine. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to her for this honour.
ACEM acknowledges the leadership, whakaaro and commitment of those who contributed to the development of the original Manaaki Mana strategy, including Dame R. Naida Glavish and members of Te Rōpu Manaaki Mana. Their vision established the foundations for this work and continues to guide the College as it progresses toward achieving Pae Ora in emergency care.
Initially launched in 2019, Te Rautaki Manaaki Mana has been revised, and the latest Te Rautaki Manaaki Mana: Excellence in Emergency Care for Māori 2026-2029, has been released. This reaffirms our commitment to supporting excellent emergency care for Māori patients, whānau, and staff.
The vision of the Manaaki Mana strategy is that all 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.
