Tūruki: Māori education grants for Hawke’s Bay healthcare workers
The programme was developed in 2008 as a partnership between the Hawke’s Bay District Health Board, Iwi and Māori Hauora Providers.
The Tūruki strategy is a direct response to addressing the health needs of Māori people in Hawke’s Bay, aiming to build a healthcare workforce that represents the cultural profile of our community.
Tūruki has three primary objectives:
1
Strengthen the capability of Māori working in health
2
Increase the number of Māori working in health
3
Improve the responsiveness of the non-Māori workforce to Māori
