An introduction by Matiu Dickson, Consumer Advisory Caucus, PHARMAC.
“Mahia te mahi, mena he painga mo te iwi.”
(Do what needs to be done if there is a benefit in it for the people.)
Tena koutou katoa.
Tena koutou i roto i nga tini mate e pa ana ki a tatou. No reira e nga mate, haere atu ki tua o te arai! Otira ki te kainga tuuturu mo tatou katoa ahakoa ko wai.
Ka tuku mihi ki a Kingi Tuheitia, te pou herenga waka o te motu. Na tana tupuna ruruhi a Te Puea te whakatauki nei ki ana iwi. He wahine kaha ia ki te tohutohu ki ana iwi kia hapai ake i nga mahi a te iwi hei oranga mo ratou ano.
No reira ko tenei te kaupapa o te paetukutuku. Awhinatia te kaupapa e tu nei!
(Greetings to you all.
To those who have passed on, Farewell! Travel to the place where we as mere mortals will go to, whatever our position in this world.
I acknowledge Kingi Tuheitia who unites all the tribes of this land. It was his ancestor Te Puea who said the above directive to her people. She was a leader who was renowned for her practical advice and hands-on help to her tribe particularly to improve their health and general wellbeing.
This is the purpose of this website, we therefore seek your support! )
