Mauri Mate

Karakia

Ko tēnei te ara kei runga
Ko te ara o tēnei Tipua
Ko te ara o tēnei Ariki
Ko te ara o tēnei Mātua-a-iwi
Ko te ara o Ranginui e tu nei,
O Papatūānuku e takoto nei
Kia rarau iho ra ngā tapuwae o Tāne
Ko tēnei te pō, nau mai te ao
Tihei mauri ora

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.
