For over a decade, the rules regulating diagnoses and treatment options available for those with ADHD have been demanding with high costs and requiring access to specialists with long waitlists.

New changes will now see GPs able to diagnose and prescribe medication to those 18 and up.

To understand what these changes will mean, I spoke to Professor of General Practice and Primary Care at the University of Auckland Dr Bruce Arroll.

This week on the Wednesday Wire...

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.
