ABOUT OUR RŌPŪ

"We are still operating under the fallacy that one size fits all.


A national programme, while necessary, will exacerbate health inequities.
 

While things are being done for the general population, they don't have an equity lens, which is essential from the beginning."

 

- Professor Papaarangi Reid
