The Pasifika Medical Association: serving the pacific

Since 1996, the Pasifika Medical Association (PMA) has worked closely with governments and communities to meet the health needs of people across the Pacific region. The PMA helps boost the workforce of Pasifika healthcare professionals and to increase the number of Pacific people in leadership roles. It also provides disaster support for Pacific countries, and helped with the COVID-19 response, both within Pacific countries and Pasifika communities in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The current PMA president is Dr Teariki ‘Kiki’ Maoate, an Aotearoa New Zealand-based paediatric surgeon. In this podcast he discusses the PMA’s focus and the future of healthcare for Pacific people.
