At the inaugural International Pacific Health Conference held in Auckland earlier this month, Professor Sir Mason Durie, KNZM, opened proceedings with a discussion about the principles for the advancement of Pasifika health in the 21st century.
"In his keynote speech, Sir Mason shared three principles: engagement, enlightenment and empowerment. These three principles remain at the core of the work ahead in improving health outcomes for Pacific peoples at a global level," says HRC Project Manager, Pacific Health, Dr Nuhisifa Seve-Williams.
