Our mahi in Te Tairāwhiti focusses on the delivery of surgical services to our hapori and ensures that whānau voices are heard in the experiences of these surgical services.
Building on Dr Rahiri's doctorate in 2020, this Health Research Council funded project looks to examine the epidemiology of bariatric surgery in Aotearoa and the efficacy of bariatric surgery with respect to cardiovascular disease and risk.
This project was funded by the Kate Edger Charitable Trust and focussed on identifying the ways in which wāhine Māori and Pasifika developed their own supportive network to ensure successful selection on to competitive surgical training pathways.
