Dr Sainimere Boladuadua is a public health physician and currently a PhD candidate at the University of Auckland where she is looking at how to improve access to healthcare for children with acute respiratory infections to reduce morbidity and mortality in Fiji. Following completion of her medical degree at the University of Otago, Sai has worked clinically in Fiji and in New Zealand in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Public Health. Her experiences as a clinician and public health physician in both countries have fueled her passion to better understand health systems and explore how to make them more 'fit for purpose', particularly for indigenous populations who have western biomedical health systems.
