Ngā Taonga Mātauranga o Ngā Pou Mana Awards

PHARMAC, in conjunction with Ngā Pou Mana Māori Allied Health Professionals (NPM) established the “Ngā Taonga Mātauranga o Ngā Pou Mana Awards ”in recognition of the positive impact Māori Allied Health Professionals have on whānau, hapū and Iwi.
 
The awards are to support Māori Allied Health workforce development, to continue studies and to grow professional and cultural practice.  The awards will provide much needed tautoko and manaaki for Māori kaimahi to continue their ongoing development. The awards will be run annually and will be presented at the Ngā Pou Mana Māori Allied Health Professionals Hui-ā-Tau/Conference each year.
