flag New Zealand group urges funding restoration for bowel cancer screening in Māori, Pacific communities.

flag A New Zealand health advocacy group, Hāpai Te Hauora, is urging the government to restore funding for targeted bowel cancer screening programs for Māori and Pacific populations, claiming the recent funding cuts will worsen health disparities. flag Critics argue the decision to redirect funds for a broader screening age reduction from 60 to 58 will lead to higher mortality rates among Māori and Pacific communities, who are more likely to develop and die from bowel cancer at younger ages. flag The organization stresses the need for equitable access to screening to improve health outcomes for these groups.
