Healthcare overhaul must include increase in resources, cancer care advocate says

Vining knew first hand what it felt like when the person she loved was unable to access treatment, describing it as a state of trauma, panic and constant concern. Her husband, Blair Vining, 39, had campaigned relentlessly for better care for Kiwis suffering from cancer while he experienced bowel cancer himself. His petition to create a national cancer agency was signed by more than 140,000 New Zealanders. After his death in October 2019, Melissa Vining continued the call by raising funds to build the Southland Charity Hospital in Invercargill. She is a trustee on the hospital’s board. Vining said while she welcomed the announcement, it was concerning that Little had committed to setting up more bureaucratic positions while making no commitments for additional resources.

Reddy said she was fascinated by the Vining family s story and Melissa s ability to turn a tragic situation into something for the benefit of the community. The pressures of modern society meant there would always be unmet health needs, she said, and she did not think there was anywhere in the world that did not need the help the charity hospital would provide. Reflecting on her term, Reddy said she was proud of the state of New Zealand. Considering environmental and geopolitical challenges elsewhere in the world, she said: “I look around, and I think: where else would I rather be?”
