That means they'll need to think about how their own culture impacts their work, and be committed to address any biases, attitudes, assumptions, stereotypes, prejudices that may affect the quality of care provided to patients.
The chair of Te Ohu Rata O Aotearoa - Māori Medical Practitioners Association - Professor David Tipene-Leach spoke to Māni Dunlop.
