Show Notes
Last year, doctors and poets Art Nahill and Glenn Colquhoun drove thousands of kilometers in a converted 'Vanbulance' on their Hikoi4Health, and had thousands of conversations with patients, locals, and experts about what is wrong with NZ healthcare, and how we could improve it -- if we really wanted to.
They share those lessons here, on The Frontline with Dr Gary Payinda, in advance of the publication of their book, and the release of their documentary, coming out in September.
You heard it here first: Rethinking Health is coming.
