The Māori Pharmacists’ Association, Ngā Kaitiaki o Te Puna Rongoā o Aotearoa, is looking at how whānau Māori can receive equitable access to medicines.
Lead researcher Jo Hikaka says association members will talk with whānau about their experiences and perceptions of being able to access minor ailment medicines from pharmacies.
