新西兰的卫生法案引发了削弱毛利人权威和公平性的强烈反弹,有可能造成健康方面的差异。 New Zealand’s health bill sparks backlash for weakening Māori authority and equity, risking health disparities.

新西兰的Pae Ora(健康未来)修正案正面临毛利人领导人和保健倡导者的广泛批评,他们说它破坏了Te Tiriti o Waitanit,削弱了毛利人的权威,削弱了保健系统的问责制。 New Zealand’s Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Amendment Bill is facing widespread criticism from Māori leaders and health advocates who say it undermines Te Tiriti o Waitangi, weakens Māori authority, and erodes accountability in the health system. 批评者认为,该法案削弱了Iwi毛利人伙伴关系委员会的作用,取消了平等和文化安全要求,并将权力集中在王室任命的机构中,扭转了Te Aka Whai Ora取得的进展。 Critics argue the bill diminishes the role of Iwi Māori Partnership Boards, removes equity and cultural safety requirements, and centralizes power in Crown-appointed bodies, reversing progress made by Te Aka Whai Ora. 他们警告说,这些变化有可能加深健康不平等,削弱社区主导的倡议,以及未能维护毛利人的maātauranga 毛利人,尽管有证据表明,在大流行病期间,由当地驱动的办法改善了结果。 They warn these changes risk deepening health inequities, weakening community-led initiatives, and failing to uphold mātauranga Māori, despite evidence that locally driven approaches improved outcomes during the pandemic.
