Mauri Tū Mauri Ora
Programme Evaluation

Mauri Tū Mauri Ora (M2MO) is a health promotion and support to cancer screening programme for whānau in West Auckland. Run by Wai Puna, the clinical services arm of Te Whānau o Waipareira, the programme aims to improve rates of cervical, breast and bowel screening by engaging with whānau and identifying those who are overdue for screening. The intention is to support early detection and improve whānau knowledge of cancer prevention. By doing so, M2MO aims to address the substantial inequities for Māori in terms of cancer morbidity and mortality. In addition, the programme takes the opportunity to engage with whānau on wider aspects of their health and hauora.
