Better health for everyone starts with strong Māori leadership in our health system 💚
We are the Iwi Māori Partnership Board for the Mid-Central District, representing the voices and health needs of 44,000 Māori in Manawatū, Palmerston North, Horowhenua, Tararua and Ōtaki.
Since 2022 we have worked alongside our community to improve health outcomes, commissioning research, advising government and sharing insights so health providers can deliver better care for everyone.
📊 In April 2025, Te Whatu Ora reported that 43% of people using hauora Māori services here do not identify as Māori. This shows these services benefit the whole community.
