A leading New Zealand epidemiologist is calling for 'serious investment' into Pacific health services and housing.
Professor Michael Baker says healthy homes reduce the risks of poor health outcomes.
He has been working with Otago University's 'He Kainga Oranga/Housing and Health Research Programme' for more than 20 years.
Dr Baker told RNZ Pacific reporter, Lydia Lews, current social inequalities Pacific communities face are unacceptable, especially because Covid-19 exploits disadvantage.
