Leadership programme for Maori in public health (LIMPH)
This training programme will introduce a variety of key themes and concepts relating to Māori health and development in order to encourage greater leadership amongst Māori working in Public Health.
Digital Indigenous. com will facilitate this programme, which will include some of the country’s foremost leaders in different aspects of leadership and Māori health.
Grant Berghan and Tania Hodges (facilitators) believe
“more than ever, we need strong Māori leadership in health. The current environment requires Māori leaders to step up to the plate and deliver on behalf of their people. This programme will assist that process”.
