"This book explores the resistance against institutional racism and the struggle for recognition of cultural change in hospital care for Māori through the life story of Amohaere Tangitu. Amohaere entered the hospital system in 1987 as the first Bicultural Parent Liaison Officer at Princess Mary Hospital, Auckland. Over a thirty-year period, she sought to ensure Māori were cared for culturally and had a voice in their own health system. In 2010, she rose to the position of Director Regional Māori Health for Tauranga and Whakatane hospitals ... Now retired, Amohaere reflects on her career in the health sector, highlighting how a more culturally appropriate approach to service delivery came about in the Auckland, Rotorua and Whakatane Hospitlas (1987-2017), where she influenced changes to health care attitudes, policy and practice for the enhancement of Māori wellbeing"--Page 4 of cover.
