Rotorua siblings on positive health mission

Despite being very early in their careers, Eruera and Tumanako Bidois are already on a mission to improve Maori health outcomes and reduce health inequities in this country. Late last year the fluent Te Reo Maori speakers graduated from the Te Whare Wananga o Tamaki Makaurau/University of Auckland's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Eruera with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) and Tumanako with a Bachelor of Nursing degree. They are two of the 83 students who came through the University's Maori and Pacific Admission Scheme and graduated with health and medical qualifications in 2019.
