What We Do

Māori SIDS has over 15 years experience, delivering national and regional services with a focus on co-ordination and provision of evidence based research. We aim to assist whānau, health professionals and communities to reduce the incidence of SIDS and SUDI (Sudden Unexpected Deaths in Infancy). We also advocate on the wider issues that affect the health and well-being of mokopuna Māori and whānau.

Our key services include:

  • Information dissemination

  • Workforce development

  • Reorientation of health services

  • Supporting whānau

The programme started in March 1994, and is funded by the Ministry of Health. Māori SIDS is based within the School of Population Health, Tamaki Campus, University of Auckland.
