From Morning Report, 8:39 am on 14 March 2022

A medical expert says more needs to be done about chronic kidney disease in New Zealand.

University of Otago research shows it's more prevalent among the Pacific population than previously thought.

Study co-author professor Rob Walker says more intervention is needed because the disease is hurting a group already known to experience inequalities in health care.

He spoke to Morning Report.
