The MRINZ is working to support tangata whenua led processes, where Māori worldviews and values help shape our research. We are committed to Māori health workforce training, developing ways to weave tikanga into how we work within our organisation, and through active collaborations with partners across Aotearoa New Zealand, and worldwide.


The MRINZ conduct collaborative research on crucial issues in global public health and development, while supporting and encouraging the next generation of world health leaders at undergraduate, post-graduate and professional levels.
