Te Mana Ola is the first-ever Pacific Health Strategy for Aotearoa New Zealand. Te Mana Ola sets the direction and long-term priorities to achieve equity in Pacific health and wellbeing outcomes over the next 10 years.

This strategy acknowledges that Pacific peoples’ views of health go beyond the presence or absence of disease or injury. Health is seen more holistically as a state of physical, mental, social, spiritual and cultural wellbeing of Pacific whānau and communities.

Te Mana Ola was developed with the guidance and support of an Advisory Group and informed by an extensive community and health sector engagement process, with more than 40 fono (meetings) held throughout Aotearoa.
