Manatū Hauora – the Ministry of Health commissioned Te Rau Ora to conduct an equity review of its COVID-19 response to the Māori, Pacific and disability communities. This review focused on the whānau and community experiences of the government’s response to COVID-19.
For this review, Te Rau Ora spoke to 14 whānau, 25 community stakeholders, and four mainstream health providers. The majority of those interviewed were Māori or Pacific people and eight had a disability or looked after someone who did.
This research provides recommendations to reduce inequities associated with any future pandemics.
