Poll: Are you able to get help with your health when needed?
A report has shown that clinics around New Zealand are understaffed, with GP's being overworked and underpaid. And for everyday kiwis, healthcare and emergency healthcare is simply not accessible.
The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.
Are you noticing delays in getting GP appointments or long waits at after-hours care?

15.3% I'm happy; I have no complaints.

Hi, I’m Zoeb Ali (Zee), a passionate writer who dreams of using words to inspire, educate, and give back. I’ve created three blogs, each representing a vital part of my heart and purpose:
Pen by Zee: My space for sharing mindful writing, poetry, novels, and stories that inspire and connect.
Charity with Zee: A platform for highlighting fundraising campaigns I lead for causes like Auckland City Mission, Kiwi Harvest, and New Zealand Mental Health.
NZ History with Zee: Dedicated to preserving and sharing New Zealand’s rich history to educate and engage readers.
Currently, I run these blogs on free platforms, but they limit my ability to deliver the high-quality, professional experience my readers and the causes I support deserve. I’m starting this fundraiser to raise funds for paid versions of these websites.
Your donation will directly support:
Professional website designs to enhance content delivery.
Expanding reach to engage more readers and supporters.
Amplifying my charity efforts for greater community impact.
With your help, I can unlock the full potential of these blogs to inspire, educate, and make a difference. Every contribution matters, and together, we can bring this vision to life.
Thank you for supporting my journey. 💙
Warm regards,
Zee
