Our Obligations

Te Tiriti o Waitangi framework

The Ministry of Health’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi framework recognises Treaty obligations as a foundation for achieving Māori health aspirations and equity for Māori.

As the Government’s advisor for health and disability, the Ministry of Health is charged with setting the direction for Māori health and guiding the sector as we work to increase access, achieve equity and improve outcomes for Māori.
