A key objective for this research was for its findings to inform workforce development strategies that will achieve equity for Māori and Pacific peoples with Type 2 Diabetes and other long-term conditions.

The aim of this scoping review was to map the ED-based interventions aimed at improving equity in care for Indigenous patients in EDs.

Symptoms of depression and anxiety have increased dramatically among Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa) youth over the last decade, with widening inequities for Māori (Indigenous population). Increased access to quality timely treatment is essential, but not sufficient to reduce population rates of mental distress.

Pacifc people are systematically undercounted, but the impact on health statistics is not well studied.

Findings provide a platform on which to build further research regarding models of rural health care to ensure services are designed for rural NZ contexts and capable of meeting the needs of diverse rural communities.

The health system in Aotearoa New Zealand is predicated on equity in access to health services as a fundamental objective yet barriers to equitable access for migrant and refugees continue to exist.

Funding and sustainability of primary healthcare are urgent priorities to address if the recent health reforms are to achieve equitable health outcomes for all New Zealanders.

There’s been a deluge of coverage about inequities in the health system and whether a new tool to help fix them is fair.
