He Ūpoko Tapu Stroke Prevention
The Ūpoko Tapu strategy involves engaging with relevant Māori health providers to establish a working relationship that promotes stroke awareness and helps to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke among whānau (family), hapū (sub-tribe), iwi (tribe), and Māori communities. It is a slow and intricate task, but with presentations provided at Māori health forums, interviews and promotional messages on Māori media the project is building a sound base which to progress. Increased participation in the annual blood pressure campaign is one vehicle that has been utilised to build and strengthen engagement with Māori health providers.

KIA HIWA RĀ! He tohu o te mate ikura roro poster
RESOURCE TYPE: A3 and A1 size poster
This is a resource that can be displayed anywhere and encourages people to learn the signs of a stroke and the action to call 111.
The design of this resource is the same as the English version so that it remains consistent and becomes recognisable in communities and environments familiar to Māori. This resource includes use of the Māori language.
- The title ‘Kia Hiwa Ra!’ is a concept that means to ‘Be alert!’
- ‘Kia Hiwa Ra!’ is also supported by a whakatauki (a Māori proverbial saying) – ‘He aha te mea nui o tēnei ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata e! This whakatauki translates to, ‘what is the most important thing in this world? It is people, it is people, it is people!
- The concepts of ‘He mate ikura roro’ & ‘he mate rehu ohotata’ mean ‘a stroke’.
- Kia tere! Waea atu ki 111 translates to ‘Be FAST! Call 111’
