Kia ora,
‘Our hearts and thoughts go out to all women fighting against cervical cancer. Recently, Labour MP Kiritapu Allan shared her story as she typically carried on working while she awaited news of her tests. Kiri and many other women like her, prioritised her health above work and accessed services early. Though gutted at the results, Kiri is a fighter and is readying for a battle. Recovery is still hopeful. We thank her for advocating for women to be screened regularly and to seek help early when women detect something is out of the ordinary. Look after yourselves whanau. Ngà mihi. From the Well Women & Family Trust – experts in women’s health and specialists in cervical screening’.
He Whakatauki: Me aro koe ki te hā o Hine-ahu-one. Pay heed to the dignity of women. In other words: Pay heed to the Atua (spiritual entity), pay heed to the first creation of tangata (people) and the many learnings that come with it. Pay heed to te whare tangata (house of humanity).
