Ao Mai te Rā: the Anti-Racism Kaupapa is a Ministry of Health New Zealand initiative to support the way the health system understands, reacts and responds to racism in health.

The Ministry has developed a video and podcast series to build collective understanding of the impacts of racism on health, while also exploring key levers in the health system that could be used for change. It does this through sharing different leadership perspectives on the presence and impact of racism on health, including how they promote collective responsibility and ownership for racism.
