Te ORA - Dr Maarire Goodall Award
The Dr Maarire Goodall Award is a prestigious annual award supporting and celebrating the contributions of Māori health professionals. Established in 1997 Dr Goodall sought to celebrate the life-long careers of Māori medical professionals.
The scope of the award has now been extended to recognise mid-career changemakers, and includes an unconditional NZ$10,000 cash grant. Award recipients are Te ORA members and mid-career collaborators who exemplify manaaki and are positive role models for younger generations.
The award continues the legacy of Maarire Goodall and his contributions to Māori healthcare.
2020 Award Winner - Dr Diana Kopua
Dr Diana Kopua (Ngati Porou), is this year’s award recipient for her work in developing Mahi a Atua. A career in psychiatry and working with whānau led her to develop a therapeutic intervention founded in te Ao Māori. Mahi a Atua translates as ‘walking in the footsteps of our ancestors’ and encourages connection with indigenious traditional creation and custom stories, pūrākau.
