Ko wai mātou - About Us
It is a time of significant change in the health system with reforms well under way to build systems that are people-centred, accessible, deliver equitable outcomes, and honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Manatū Hauora (the Ministry of Health) is a key partner in this change, advising decision-makers on the direction of the system, bringing population groups, and sector organisations together to inform system strategies, and providing policy advice to decision-makers.
Manatū Hauora has a clear mandate to make changes to the health system that lead to equitable outcomes for tangata whaikaha (disabled people). Manatū Hauora also sits alongside Whaikaha, the new Ministry of Disabled People, which has an important disability system leadership role.
