Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ has translated the following resources for patients and health professionals into Te Reo Māori:
• 3 x Adult Asthma Action Plans
• Child Asthma Action Plan
• Child Asthma Symptom Diary
• COPD Action Plan
• Asthma First Aid Poster
The aim of the translations is to improve interest in respiratory health and management within the Māori community. Teresa Demetriou, Head of Education and Research says, “We hope to see positive outcomes from these culturally sensitive and targeted resources that aim to fill a gap in respiratory disease management in the current New Zealand health system.”
