24 traditional Māori rongoā providers in Northland, New Zealand, received ACC support to provide services until March 2024, while rural healthcare providers demand over 14% primary healthcare funding increase.
24 traditional Māori rongoā providers in Northland, New Zealand, received support from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) to provide services from June 2020 to March 2024. The Te Hiku Rongoā Māori Collective, funded by Te Whatu Ora, aims to improve Māori-based health and wellbeing services in the region. Rural healthcare providers, including the Hauora Taiwhenua Rural Health Network, rejected the government's 4% increase in primary healthcare funding, seeking over 14% to cover increased costs and improve services.
