New Zealand MP Takes Health Portfolio

RNZ National Wellington 12d10d Impact 5
A political party launched its election manifesto at Parliament on Thursday morning. The manifesto includes a commitment to spend $21 million per year on healthcare initiatives. The plan aims to achieve a 90% HPV immunisation target by 2030. The launch included personal testimonies regarding cancer diagnoses and smear test results. The program is estimated to cost $21 million per year. During the launch, Jen Jewel shared her experience of being diagnosed with abnormal cells via a smear test at age 35. The platform aims to address disparities in treatment protocols compared to international standards. An MP based in Epsom has been handed the health portfolio following the retirement of Dr Shane Reti in March. The new minister stated a commitment to engaging directly with Pacifica communities.
