Show Notes

“Exploring the importance of community values in healthcare service delivery.”

Why do we frame health and wellbeing through the lens of the individual? Why do healthcare policies so often ignore collective identities, and broader socio-cultural context? Dr. Hana Tuisano joins us to Unpack the Tokeluan worldview of ‘Māopoopo’, and her new healthcare model, utilizing cultural knowledge and practices, to fight health inequities faced by Pacific peoples.

This is the condensed, short-form version of our full interview with Dr. Kerr. To listen to the full episode, + bonus content, head to patreon.com/phdunpacked.
