The other day someone mentioned to me that an updated version of Tatau Kahukura was online. I almost couldn’t believe it. It has been 10 years since the last update, and I had given up hope that we’d see a new one any time soon.
Tatau Kahukura, the Māori health chart book, has, since the first edition in 2006, provided a snapshot of the health of Māori compared with non-Māori.
It was originally developed as part of the monitoring He Korowai Oranga (Māori Health Strategy) and as a response to calls for Māori to have access to a wide range of health information that could be easily accessed and easily understood.
