Mana Wāhine

Last night, both KBJ and Norths took to the court — the teams are proudly supported by either Ora Toa or Mana Wahine. ❤️🖤

Both kaupapa are committed to supporting our wahine through breast and cervical screening, wellness groups and cancer support.

The battle isn’t just on the court — it’s off the court too. 💪🏽

Encourage the wahine in your whānau to get their regular checks. Early detection can make all the difference.

We want to see you healthy, strong and back on the court for many seasons to come! 🏐❤️🖤

World Indigenous Cancer Conference 2026 ❤️

Our Mana Wāhine team attended the conference held in Tamaki Makaurau on 21-23 April. This opportunity for professional development for our team to understand on a global scale how whanau living with cancer are impacted. What is our contribution to preventative measure within our Mana Wāhine beast & cervical screening service as well as our cancer navigation service.

The learnings were greatly received & our team walked away with new knowledge and continue passion to continue to serve our communities across Te Whanganui a Tara 🥰
