It's a race against time once Maori and Pasifika women in New Zealand are diagnosed with breast cancer.

A report released last year revealed Maori women are 33 percent more likely to die within 10 years of diagnosis and for Pasifika women the odds are even higher at 52 percent.

RNZ Pacific's Susana Suisuiki and camera operator Marika Khabazi have the story.
