Welcome to Hei Āhuru Mōwai
We are a network of Māori cancer specialists, researchers, and advocates committed to rangatiratanga in cancer control. Our mission is to eliminate inequities between Māori and non-Māori and improve cancer outcomes for whānau Māori across Aotearoa.
We focus on driving impactful cancer research, addressing system-level challenges, and collaborating with Māori leaders across the health sector to create lasting change.
THE ISSUE
In Aotearoa New Zealand Māori have a 20% higher cancer incidence rate and are twice as likely to die of cancer than non-Māori. These differences are intolerable, unfair and preventable.
Our mission is to eliminate these inequities by influencing, researching and educating.
Check out our strategic and operational objectives to see why cancer inequities exist and how we believe they can be addressed.
SUPPORT OUR KAUPAPA
Our charity relies on aroha and volunteer hours. Every dollar helps us continue to advocate for better cancer outcomes for whānau Māori.
