Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern talks to Radio Tarana s Sanjesh Narain about the UNDP worker s medical evacuation from Fiji to New Zealand. Ali said she believed it was time to talk about this issue, and also why more locals were not being employed by the UN. It is very, very unfair that our own people are dying here because of a lack of services, and they can t get to services on time, and our Ministry of Health is so stretched.

The medical evacuation flight arrives at Auckland International Airport from Covid-stricken Fiji last Thursday. I believe it is not fair at all, we need to talk about this, Ali said.

But she s insisting that conversation did not influence the decision to bring the patient to New Zealand, which she says was made at a ministry level.
The infected worker was flown to Auckland for hospital treatment last week despite an earlier decision by the Ministry of Health to decline the transfer.
They were initially refused entry because of capacity issues, but Auckland s Medical Officer subsequently approved a transfer plan.
National leader Judith Collins is questioning whether Clark, who is also a former United Nations Development Programme boss, influenced decision making. I think Helen Clark should come out and confirm whether or not she was involved in that; wading in and where did she go to? Is this something that she bought to the Prime Minister s attention? Did she seek that assistance?
“It starts to look as though it s not what you know, it s who you know . and I think that’s very unfortunate.” The Ministry of Health did a U-turn on a decision to refuse the patient entry after pressure from the UN last week. An air ambulance jet touched down at Auckland Airport on Thursday, and the woman was being treated at Middlemore Hospital, in south Auckland. On Friday evening, the Ministry of Health said a staffer at the hospital was having to isolate after a “PPE protocol incident” that occurred when managing the patient. On Tuesday, Collins said she had heard from people within her Papakura, also in south Auckland, who were concerned the decision put them at risk.
