Election 2020: Māori Party's John Tamihere says diabetes drugs would be funded if Pākehā were suffering
20 August 2020 - Better drugs to control diabetes and avoid complications including heart attacks and kidney failure would be funded if white people were suffering like Māori and Pacific, Māori Party co-leader John Tamihere says.
Tamihere made his comments at the South Auckland Diabetes Summit, where a world-renowned expert said the lack of funded modern diabetes drugs was a "national scandal".
