Abstract

The Māori holistic model of healthcare was established by Sir Mason Durie in 1984 to stipulate a Māori perspective on health. This model deals with taking care of all elements of life to maintain sustainable welfare. The four elements and their significance are represented by the wharenui (meeting house). The wharenui's link to the whenua (land) serves as the foundation for other elements, thereby pioneering health and wellbeing of yourself and whanau (family). The Māori holistic model of healthcare draws on strong bonding between the foundation and other walls in case any issues crop up (Health Navigator NZ, 2022). #). The purpose of this research paper is to identify the significance of Māori holistic healthcare framework and analyze how obesity affects the healthcare systems of New Zealand by shedding light on its impact on confronting individuals, families, and primary health-care professionals. Keywords: Māori holistic model, Healthcare, Obesity
