Values Centred on Tikanga Maori
The four local Iwi – Ngati Rangitane, Ngati Raukawa, Muaupoko, Ngati Kahungunu – and the three Maori health providers that operate within the DHB, centre their values on Tikanga Maori, affiliation to Iwi, knowledge of and linkage with their communities, and promoting a holistic health philosophy.
