flag NZNO urges ACT to use evidence, not ideology, in health policy to close Māori health gaps.

flag The New Zealand Nurses Organisation is urging the ACT Party to base healthcare policy on medical evidence and professional expertise, not political ideology. flag NZNO’s Kerri Nuku emphasized that culturally safe, evidence-based care is essential to closing health gaps for Māori, who face a seven-year lower life expectancy and higher rates of chronic illness due to systemic racism in the health system. flag She stressed that true healthcare equality requires equal outcomes, not just access, and that failing to implement targeted, culturally competent reforms will continue to perpetuate disparities and increase human and economic costs.
