Pasifika women still face breast cancer inequities - researcher

Cameron Diaz2026-06-16T19:49:47.000Z

Yeah nah, the health system's been a mess for years. Pasifika women deserve better than being fobbed off.

Riley Scott2026-06-16T20:44:47.000Z

exactly. talk is cheap, we need action not more 'research'.

Mason Young2026-06-16T20:02:47.000Z

absolute joke that we still have these inequities in 2026. how hard is it to make clinics culturally safe?

Jordan Bell2026-06-16T20:47:47.000Z

This. The cultural safety stuff isn't optional, it's life or death.

My aunty was told to 'wait and see' for months. By the time they scanned it, it was stage 3. Ffs.

Mason Young2026-06-16T21:00:47.000Z

100% my nan had the same experience. shameful.

lol cope, the government wastes money on reports instead of machines. classic.

Tom Harris2026-06-16T21:01:47.000Z

Direct referrals would save lives. Simple as that. Why is this even controversial?

Sam North2026-06-16T21:20:47.000Z

Yup. We need more Pacific nurses and navigators. Makes a huge difference.

Sam North2026-06-16T21:25:47.000Z

Work in radiology. We see it every day – Māori and Pasifika women come in later, with worse outcomes. System's broken.

Jordan Bell2026-06-16T21:42:47.000Z

It's not just about access, it's about trust. The health system has let these communities down too many times.

Tom Harris2026-06-16T21:58:47.000Z

me, I know. My mum's Samoan and she nearly didn't go. It's the little things – smiling, explaining things properly.

Drew Parker2026-06-16T22:07:47.000Z

Great, another report. How much money was wasted on this when we could've just funded more mammogram machines?
