I imagine a post-pandemic 21st century health system founded on the same sense of solidarity, science, and pragmatism, one in which we strive for truly equitable and accessible health care; where you find the help you need quickly in your community, from someone you trust; where the person caring for you can focus on you because modern technology has put your information at their fingertips; where you are seen for who you are—old, young, men, women, Pasifika, Asian, refugee, gay, straight, or trans—where our mobilisation to fight COVID leads a legacy of a strong immunisation system; where we apply well-established science to protect children's teeth with fluoride and children in the womb with folate; and in which a vibrant and proud Māori health workforce improves the care of their own people and, in doing so, humanises the system for all of us.
