The plight of Pacific people in NZ

*Why are Pacific people over-represented in many adverse social statistics?*

There are over ¼ million people of Pacific heritage living in New Zealand -- about one-half of the size of the Maori population. Unique cultural and social factors present unique challenges to their wellbeing.

To speak for the condition of, and outlook for, the health of Pacific people, the Director of the Pacific Health Unit at Auckland University, Dr. Teuila Percival, will be In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Triangle/Stratos Television next week.
