Te Kāhui Oranga ō Nuku is RANZCOG’s Aotearoa New Zealand committee. Te Kāhui Oranga ō Nuku supports RANZCOG activities in Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on the context of the New Zealand health system, the needs of wāhine and whānau in Aotearoa New Zealand and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. A particular focus of Te Kāhui Oranga ō Nuku, and its sub-committee He Hono Wāhine, is recognising Māori as tangata whenua and supporting initiatives that will improve equity of outcomes.
