Doctors Alvin, Allen, and Adrienne Mitikulena talk about what it's like working together at their general practice, Wellington's Kilbirnie Medical Centre. Their parents who are also trained medics, retired from the medical centre earlier this year, but continue to inspire them. The Mitikulena family left their Niuean home in 1989 for New Zealand in search of better opportunities, particularly to further the family's education. In their most recent act of togetherness the GP trio have helped launch, Te Folaunga: The Journey a book celebrating Pacific success in health sciences at their former alma mater, Otago University.
