GP’s, medical centres and hospitals are the first port of call for most people who need physical repair. The medical system has failed Māori for decades, and Pākehā still live longer lives. Māori doctors are healers who understand and use the best western traditions of medicine and who often explore beyond that. These health professionals with their own Native Minds are set to exert radical reform from within, and outside the system.
