Exceptional Māori health scholars honoured
Associate health minister Tariana Turia presented four awards in two categories which honour the legacy of trailblazing leadership in Māori health.
Every year, a select group of applicants to the Ministry of Health’s Hauora Māori scholarship programme are awarded a John McLeod Scholarship or a Te Apa Māreikura Award.
Ibrahim Walter Soloman and Caroline Blucher are the recipients of John McLeod Scholarships while Michelle Turrall and Paula Moyle are Te Apa Māreikura award recipients.
Minister Tariana Turia says the recipients are all educators, mentors, and coaches who are strongly connected in te ao Māori and their communities.
She says they are multi-talented leaders already and their leadership is destined to be far reaching.
The four awards are each worth 10 thousand dollars.
