0:00 – 3:40 Executive Chair of Āti Awa Toa Hauora Partnership Board (ĀATHPB)

ĀATHPB held a hui with Te Ohu Reo Manawataki o Ngāti Toa Rangatira, in December 2024. This was an opportunity for ĀATHPB to wānanga with reo and tikanga experts about the intricates of waiata, reo-ā-tinana, haka, poi, wairuatanga both marae-based and competition-based and how this influences the oranga of Ngāti Toa iwi and hapori. The kōrero kanohi ki te kanohi from within our communities is helping to enrich our understanding of why many health inequities persist as well as pointing to what can be done – their insights into the things that would make a difference.

Our Community Health Plan sets out our initial priorities and work programme to achieve our mission – an oranga ecosystem for our mokopuna to thrive.
It draws on the stories of our people, their health experiences and their aspirations for oranga – good health in all its dimensions.
As mana whenua we support the wellbeing of Māori and of all whānau who reside in our rohe.
We bring local solutions, relationships and experience and look forward to working in partnership with health and other decision-makers to make this plan a reality.
