Abstract:
Upholding te Tiriti o Waitangi should eliminate institutional racism against Māori and contribute to the achievement of health equity. Given the Waitangi Tribunal is investigating health-related breaches of te Tiriti o Waitangi, we argue institutional racism, a key determinant of health inequalities, needs to be acknowledged and addressed within the health sector. Historically the Crown response can be characterised by denial and inaction. The Crown has the power and resources to take action through mechanisms such as those they are currently applying to child poverty and gender pay inequity. Anti-racism literature recommends planned, systems-based approaches to eradicate the problem. We need the government to uphold our Tiriti responsibilities and we require a plan to end racism in the New Zealand health system.
