The Aloha EQ Podcast

Health Care In Two Worlds


Listen Later

Host Ruth Kongaika shares her personal journey through healthcare in Utah, Tonga, American Samoa, and New Zealand, contrasting modern medical systems with island-based, family-centered care.

She recounts vivid stories—giving birth in a hospital foyer, traditional remedies that worked when hospitals could not, and the emotional costs of care—showing that healing is physical, cultural, and deeply human.

The episode explores how we might blend precision and resources with compassion and communal support to create more humane healthcare.
