Colonisation continues to deeply affect the Pacific, with the production of health inequities tied closely to the unequal power dynamics still inflicted on Pacific nations by external high-income countries.
A recent article by a group of women academics and health professionals based in Fiji, Tonga, Sāmoa, and Aotearoa New Zealand has called for a reimagining in how global health is approached in the Pacific.
This proposed shift would see greater sovereignty exercised by Pacific nations in research and health, and a pluralistic worldview reflecting Indigenous Pacific knowledge systems.
To understand the state of global health in the Pacific, the reimagining her group has proposed, and the role that Aotearoa New Zealand can play, Producer Theo spoke to Public Health Medicine Specialist Dr Sainimere Boladuadua.

This week, political, cultural, and community leaders have been gathering in Waitangi to commemorate the signing of Te Tiriti.
However, recent attacks on Te Tiriti, Te Reo Māori, and Te Ao Māori by the New Zealand coalition government are front of mind for many.
Ka Lāhui Hawai’i, a Kanaka Maoli initiative calling for self-determination and self-governance in Hawai’i, have sent a seventeen-member delegation to show solidarity with Māori.
To understand the demonstration of indigenous solidarity this delegation represents, as well as the ongoing colonial attacks on indigenous peoples across the Pacific, Producer Theo spoke to the spokesperson for Ka Lāhui Hawai’i, Healani Sonoda-Pale.
And Grecco Romank joins us in studio for 'What's Cooking,' their appearance at Drive Island next week, and a first spin of their new track, 'Nobel Grease'.
