The 9 population priorities are:
- Priority one - Māori are protected from communicable diseases across the life-course
- Priority two - māmā and pēpi receive consistent, quality care during pregnancy and into the early years
- Priority three - early prevention of long-term illnesses for tamariki and rangatahi
- Priority four - rangatahi experience stronger mental health and resilience
- Priority five - rangatahi are engaging in healthy behaviours and are surrounded by protective social factors
- Priority six - identification and treatment pathways for cancers are faster, timely, comprehensive and effective
- Priority seven - pakeke are accessing primary and community healthcare early, with positive outcomes and experiences relating to diabetes and cardiovascular disease
- Priority eight - kaumātua are supported to live well through managing complex co-morbidities
- Priority nine - iwi-Māori partnership boards are well supported to deliver on their roles and respond to hapori and whānau wellbeing needs.
The priorities are all underpinned by the ability to:
- draw on readily available, robust data
- contribute to health service quality
- guide actions to improve system performance
- contribute to a whole-of-system strategic approach to Māori health.
Attached below is an outline of the 9 priorities and the relationship between them.
