Pacific women in NZ call for improved cancer education and more culturally resp…

Great, another report. Meanwhile my auntie died of cervical cancer because she was too scared to go to the doc. Culture isn't the problem, it's the lack of education.

Honestly, healthcare should be for everyone. My mum felt so dismissed by her GP, just because she asked for a second opinion. We need more Pacific nurses and doctors 💯

More money thrown at 'culturally responsive' stuff while rural hospitals are closing. Yeah that'll fix cancer 🙄

Sophie Ngata2026-07-16T19:48:54.000Z

hospitals closing is a joke, but that doesn't mean Pacific health isn't important. We can care about both.

ffs we can't just blame the system. People need to take responsibility for their own health too.

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T19:49:54.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. Blaming the victim is exactly why people don't go.

👆 We need outreach, not just waiting for people to come to us.

read the article properly - it's about education and cultural safety. Not everything is a political hit piece.

Blake Turner2026-07-16T20:41:54.000Z

you actually worked in healthcare you'd know how hard it is. It's not just about culture, it's about resources.

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T20:12:54.000Z

lol typical. 'Consultation' means a bunch of zoom meetings and nothing changes

Drew Parker2026-07-16T20:50:54.000Z

mate you've clearly never been to a consultation hui. There's heaps of good work happening.
