HEALTH AND REHABILITATION2
Introduction
He Korowai Oranga can be referred to as a government strategy. The main objective of
the He Korowai Oranga is to provide support to the Maori families to attain health outcome and
wellbeing because Maori families are identified as the foundation of the Maori society. This
paper will describe the aims and objectives of the strategy, the target groups, its compliance with
the New Zealand Health Strategy, and finally, one approach was taken to support the strategy.
Aims, target group and rationale for the He Korowai Oranga: Maori Health Strategy
Aims
The goals for He Korowai Oranga is to provide a healthy prospect for the Maori, to
affirm the Maori approached a better-quality the health consequences. The families being the
primary source of strength and security, the wellbeing of the entire family plays a significant role
in the health and the welfare of individual Maori individual. The second aim is to set a new
direction for the development of Maori health over the next ten years and to remain committed to
the treaty of Waitangi (Came, Cornes & McCreanor, 2018). Next aim would be to build on a
Maori model of health, to confirm that Maori, as a consumer of health care services, get access to
regular health care. It should also meet their instant and future requirements across the different
stages of life. Another aim is to provide healthy environments (Waiora) (Morgan, 2015).
Achieving way ora means that the situation where all the Maori and the New Zealanders work,
live and play is safe. It also focuses on ensuring that the Maori gets appropriate access to housing
quality, safe drinking air and water. It also includes addressing health determinants, including
education and poverty.

Target group and rationale
The target group for the strategy are the Maori people, who are the indigenous Polynesian
people residing in New Zealand, who are deprived of proper health care. The rationale for
adopting these strategies for this target group is the significant health inequalities that exist
among the various groups of the New Zealanders (Nuku, 2013). The plan is to follow the three
pathways for improving the Whanau Ora. The rationale for the Maori health strategy is to work
in partnership with the whanau, hapu ̄ and iwi and Ma ̄ ori communities for improving health literacy
as well as prevention of the diseases. Another justification of this scheme is to develop the Maori
health and disability labour force by the active participation of the Maori in the health care
sector. The next reasoning is to guarantee health and safeguarding of the Maori cultures,
traditions and values.
Strategy aligning to the aims of the New Zealand Health strategy
The New Zealand Health strategy acts as a platform for the government’s
accomplishment in the healthcare sector. It recognises the priority regions of the government
aiming at good health and security for all the New Zealanders all through their lives, for
improving the health conditions of those who are currently disadvantaged (Ministry of Health,
2019). Some of the universal underlying principles seen by the government to be fundamental
are to acknowledge the unique association between Maori and the Crown as per the treaty of
Waitangi. Another aim is to promote sound health for all the New Zealanders throughout their
course of lives, enhancing the health status of the ones who are socially as well as economically
disadvantaged, active partnership with the underprivileged people at all the levels,
comprehending beyond some narrow definitions of health and making partnership with some
others for achieving the wellbeing (Jansen & Jansen, 2013). He Korowai Oranga aims to
