Dr Shantha Raghwan was recognised for championing culturally safe care for Pasifika patients and communities, including through the ED Pasifika Health Equity Project.
The Maternity Group Practice – Gateway/SSI team was recognised for its work creating a welcoming and culturally safe environment for culturally and linguistically diverse and refugee families.
