Kia rarau iho ra ngā tapuwae o Tāne
Ko tēnei te pō, nau mai te ao

A Māori palliative care framework for hospices
Mauri mate is a framework with palliative care guidelines for hospices in New Zealand, aiming to provide adult Māori with good palliative care.
The 3 main aims of the framework include:
- good (quality) care in the lead-up to the end-of-life
- good comfort (compassionate) care at the end-of-life
- helpful whānau support during and after the illness, and the end-of-life (including spiritual care and grief support).
The framework is also applicable to primary care, aged residential care, hospital teams and whānau care.
