Pūtahi Manawa focuses on collaborative research and educational initiatives as we strive to make a significant impact in cardiovascular health in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Our goal is to create a future where every individual enjoys improved heart well-being and overall cardiovascular health.

 

At the heart of our research is an innovative "business not as usual" approach, fostering collaboration with our Māori and Pacific communities to cultivate a more equitable health research workforce and a dynamic research environment.

 

These whakatauki proverbs speaks to the collaborative efforts of different groups working together to achieve a common desired outcome.
