E mōhio ana mātou he iti ake te pā mai o te whānau kokoti ki ngā whānau Āhia me te Pākehā i o te Māori, te Pasifika me te Inia, ka mutu he nui ake te tūponotanga ka ora te pēpi mēnā ka whānau kokoti mai. Ehara ēnei rerekētanga i te tika, i te tōkeke. E pūmau ana mātou ki te whakapai ake i ngā manaaki me ngā tautoko whānau kokoti puta noa i Aotearoa, kia taea ai e mātou ngā putanga pai rawa mō ngā whānau katoa, ahakoa ko wai rātou, ā, kei hea e noho ana.

We know that Asian and European whānau experience preterm birth less often than Māori, Pacific and Indian whānau, and that their pēpi are more likely to survive if born very early. These differences are unjust and unfair. We are committed to improving preterm birth care and support across Aotearoa, so that we can achieve the best outcomes for all whānau, whoever they are and wherever they live.
