The treatyof Waitangi is based on three principles that involves-Partnership- This involves the communities of Maori and the government workingtogether for developing strategies for appropriate disability as well as health services.Participation-This needs Maori to be engaged at every levels of health industry thatincludes decision-making, framing, development and health services delivery (Ludbrook,2014).Protection- This includes the government of this nation working to assure that Maorihave same health level as that of non- Maori and safeguarding the concepts of Maoriculture. Principles of Waitangi underpinning the relationship between the Government and MaoriThe Waitangi treaty principles plays vital role in this nation education system and themethod in which they work. The system of government in New Zealand has been stronglyaffected by the principles of Treaty of Waitangi that is also known as Maori language. Thistreaty mainly requires that Maori and this nation’s government act towards one another in goodfaith. Two vital methods for achieving this has been through well-versed decision making thatinvolves consultation by government as well as through protection of rights of Maori underTreaty by government. In addition, the government also established Waitangi tribunal forinvestigating the grievances of Maori about the breaches of treaty of Waitangi. Crocket (2013)opines that this treaty has also been important as it ensures that both Pakeha as well as Maorirights are protected in account of accepting the Maori rights, identifying Maori land ownershipas well as protecting their life and entailing the government of this nation to meet theirrequirement.

This puts emphasis on decreasing disparities in status of health betweenthe population group, improving health outcomes of population and addressing issues relating totreaty of Waitangi.

The three principles of Waitangitreaty plays vital role in national health strategies of New Zealand. Additionally, these principlesprovide numerous benefits to the Maori people relating to their health care services.
