Unfortunately, Professor Kura Paul-Burke is unable to join us at this year’s 21st WONCA World Rural Health Conference.

Kura is a respected Māori leader and scientist, known for combining Māori knowledge with practical science to support community-led initiatives and strengthen stewardship of taonga species and spaces. Her work has had a meaningful impact on rural communities and the wider health and environmental landscape across Aotearoa.
