DRAFT MĀORI HEALTH STRATEGY
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT 25 MARCH - 25 APRIL 2019
OUR MISSION Te Hauora a Toi is in pursuit of Toi Ora, a collective vision for
flourishing descendants of Toi.
TE KUPU As the Bay of Plenty District Health Board and the
Māori Health Rūnanga (our eighteen iwi
governance representatives of Te Moana ā Toi), we
are affirming our Te Tiriti o Waitangi partnership by
advancing a brave new Māori Health strategy that
Authentic Te Tiriti o Waitangi
partnership provides for
Tangata Whenua protection
and participation
TE MANA
Tangata Whenua self-
determination, aspirations,
contributions and worldview
are valued and invested in
across the BOPDHB system
TE ORA
Toi Ora drives a whole of
system approach that
enables flourishing from
pre-conception throughout
the life course
aims to transform our health system and realise
our collective aspirations for Toi Ora.
We’ve listened to the voices of our whānau, hapū,
iwi, Māori providers and wider community over the
last 12 months, and now it’s time to make sure
that the course we intend to navigate towards Toi
Ora over the next decade is going to get us there.
Toi Ora is our localised vision, determined by our
eighteen iwi in 2007. This vision directly aligns with
He Korowai Oranga, the Government’s national
Māori Health Strategy and vision of Pae Ora -
healthy, Māori futures. Toi Ora is central to the
future direction of Te Hauora a Toi and all that we
do. We have included Iwi Ora - a fourth and
interconnecting element of the Pae Ora framework,
including Mauri Ora (flourishing individuals),
Whānau Ora (flourishing families), and Wai Ora
(flourishing environments). Iwi Ora, flourishing
iwi is an integral element of what Toi Ora means
for tangata whenua in Te Moana ā Toi.
By 2030, we envisage Te Hauora a Toi leading
Māori Health throughout Aotearoa. We will be
demonstrating an authentic Te Tiriti o Waitangi
partnership that values and invests in tangata
whenua aspirations to realise Toi Ora.
Over the next ten years, we’re committed to
working together, partnering for outcomes
across sectors and ensuring that tangata whenua
determinants of wellbeing are addressed and
invested here in Te Moana ā Toi.
Ultimately, Te Toi Ahorangi aims to provide a
strategic framework that describes our unified
vision, voice and intention to successfully influence
health and wellbeing outcomes for tangata
whenua and all people living in Te Moana ā Toi,
from pre-conception throughout the life course.
The name Te Toi Ahorangi affirms our worldview and status as tangata whenua. It gives reference to our
eponymous ancestor Toi te Huatahi, and contextualises Toi as both the centre and summit of our
endeavours. Ahorangi acknowledges our connection to Ranginui and Papatūānuku and the strength of
the sacred threads that bind us together, and weave our past, present and future as one. It also refers to
the sail ropes of Te Waka o Toi, our waka hourua that enables us to determine our way towards Toi Ora.
