31. Call for action over needless Pacific cancer deaths
Radio New Zealand – 6 August 2019
Thousands of Pacific people are dying from a lack of cancer treatment, New Zealand medical researchers say. They say there is little or no treatment available in many Pacific countries for what are easily treatable cancers. The problems are apparent right across the Pacific, from Papua New Guinea to Tokelau, said one of the co-authors of the research, Otago University's Aiono professor Alec Ekeroma. It is not just a lack of treatment facilities, professor Ekeroma said, but also a lack of diagnoses.

“Hey, hey, ho, ho, private health insurance has to go!” This is the relentless chant being sung in opinion pages and on talkback radio across the country.
