## Resource

Disabled people across New Zealand are sounding the alarm over decades of systemic neglect in healthcare, with a new report revealing persistent failures—from dismissive staff to inadequate accommodations—despite official promises of reform. Advocates warn this is yet another bureaucratic gesture, not a turning point, as life-threatening disparities grow, especially for Māori disabled individuals. While Health New Zealand vows action, many feel their voices have been ignored for too long, leaving a deep sense of exhaustion and doubt that real change is possible.
