- Summary
- This book maps official endeavours to meet Maori health needs during the first hundred years of organised European settlement in New Zealand. Focusing on policy initiative rather than health outcomes, Maori Health and Government Policy explores four major themes: the administration and funding of Maori health,; the association between Maori and hospitals; the subsidised medical officers who provided primary health care; and infection control and the sanitary measures. Other topics include the role of missionary medicine in the 1840s and 1850s and Maori health research.
