From , 6:01 am on 7 July 2021

A new report out from the Health Quality & Safety Commission has outlined Pasifika are at the tail end of the country's worst health inequities.

The report, Bula Sautu, called the healthcare system "unacceptably racist".

With the Government's planned mega-entity Health NZ do away with the postcode lottery of who gets quality care, professionals are shouting out for help now.

And they say this shouldn't just be another report that repeats the same harrowing figures.
