    Research showing Maori are suffering more because of poor access to heart-failure medicines, hasn't come as no surprise to some


    Otago and Auckland researchers have found a significant disparity between Maori and non-Maori taking the prescribed medicine.

    They looked at data from more than 14-thousand heart-failure patients between 2012 and 2019.

    Auckland University's Dr Joanna Hikaka says it's well known there's inequity but steps can be taken - including increasing awareness on the availability of medicine.

    She says medicines play a crucial role improving quality of life for patients with heart failure.
