We're proud of all the work our Indigenous Working Group Chair Adrian Te Patu accomplishes! Thank you!
General Manager, Roche Pharma New Zealand I Board Member & Vice-Chair, Medicines New Zealand
Aotearoa New Zealand is a land of rich cultural heritage, and the Māori people hold a special place in its heart. Māori, New Zealand's indigenous population represent almost 18% of the population and very often face disparate health outcomes compared to anyone else. At Roche, we are committed to better understanding the environment we operate in to serve all people in Aotearoa. This year, as part of our ongoing cultural journey, our Roche New Zealand team came together for a workshop at the award-winning Te Māhurehure Cultural Marae. Māori see their marae as their tūrangawaewae - their place to stand and belong. Marae are used for hui (meetings), āhuareka (celebrations), tangi (funerals), educational workshops and other important tribal events. We are deeply grateful to the Te Māhurehure Cultural Marae Society for allowing us to experience their remarkable space. It was another invaluable opportunity to connect, learn, and reflect. Our learning journey was further enriched by the presence of Adrian Te Patu, who currently represents New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region on the governing council of the World Federation of Public Health Associations. Additionally, he chairs the Indigenous Working Group of the Council. His insights and perspectives were instrumental in deepening our understanding and commitment to health equity in NZ. A heartfelt thank you also goes to Atene Andrews for all his leadership and guidance as our Chief Māori Advisor at Roche. His wisdom and direction are vital to our journey. We acknowledge that this is a long-term commitment, and as such, we are dedicated to continually learning and embracing diversity to better serve our population. Aotearoa holds a unique position to inspire and lead the world in fostering relationships with its indigenous people, ensuring the best possible health outcomes for everyone in this beautiful country. #Roche #CulturalJourney #Māori #Aotearoa #NewZealand #HealthOutcomes #CommunityEngagement #PublicHealth #IndigenousLeadership 🌏✨

November 3 was the ninth annual One Health Day, a global campaign highlighting the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. In celebration of One Health Day, our One Health Working Group hosted a global webinar on the theme “From COVID-19 to Mpox: What Progress in One Health Have We Reached?” to share the progress made in the One Health approach in light of recent health crises. Dr. Emma Rawson-Te Patu, President of WFPHA, delivered the opening speech. She called for further cooperation in One Health actions, in line with WFPHA’s mission to “protect people and the planet, prevent diseases, and promote peace, health, and well-being,” as committed to advancing global public health through WFPHA’s strategic plan for 2023-2027. Six experts from the One Health Working Group of the WFPHA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations participated. Firstly, Prof. Xiao-Nong Zhou and Prof. Mayumi Wakimoto presented case studies on One Health actions in China and Brazil, respectively. This was followed by discussions on two core issues of One Health, including antimicrobial resistance and One Health education, presented by Prof. Lee Willingham and Prof. Rogers Frutos. Finally, at the global level, Dr. Jun-Xia Song and Dr. Ulrich Laaser addressed the impact of the global One Health agenda prompted by Quadripartite initiatives, outcomes from the One Health High-Level Expert Panel, and the evolution of global health policy from a One Health perspective. Professor Raman Bedi, Vice President of WFPHA, gave the closing address. In conclusion, it was emphasized that we must strengthen our public health system to counter challenges through collaborative efforts, especially in addressing environmental health concerns. The deployment of diverse surveillance technologies is critical in this endeavor. Thank you for all the support from our various partners and stakeholders!
