We support the rights of Māori to have whānau, hapū and iwi involvement in all aspects of treatment including counselling.

Please inform our Repromed staff as soon as possible if you have any cultural or spiritual requirements relating to the disposal of embryos/eggs/sperm or reproductive tissue.

Patients who identify themselves as Māori will have their health and disability needs met in a manner that is respectful and acknowledges their values and beliefs.

Therefore Repromed ensures Māori are able to have whānau, hapū and iwi involvement in treatment /support/treatment planning/review and advocacy, if requested.

The involvement of Kaumatua/Kuia is acknowledged.

To assist Repromed to ensure support for Māori to be able to continue their cultural and traditional practices whilst receiving fertility services Repromed requests Maori discuss their cultural, social, spiritual, whānau, environmental, physical and emotional requirements with staff as early as possible.
