DR NZ

Dr Euan MacDonald moves to Rotorua in New Zealand to work in the city’s hospital. An Dr. Euan DΓ²mhnallach a' dol gu Sealann Nuadh, a dh' obair san ospadal ann an Rotorua.

Dr Euan MacDonald travels to New Zealand to work at Rotorua hospital alongside one of the highest Māori populations in the country.

Euan faces hard decisions - he breaks devastating news and deals with patients discharging against medical advice. He sees the hospital’s Māori dedicated healthcare team in action, learns some Te Reo Māori and experiences how Māori culture is reflected within the hospital.

Euan finds out about healthcare inequities for the indigenous population and talks to those who have suffered racism because of their Māori heritage. He also immerses himself in the rich cultural landscape. He is a linesman for the day at a Māori rugby tournament, learns a haka and celebrates Māori new year.

Euan meets fellow Gaels who have made New Zealand their home and explores this precious ecosystem of geothermal activity.

Tha an Dr. Euan Dòmhnallach a' dol a dh' obair san ospadal ann an Rotorua, baile le àireamh-sluaigh Māori cho àrd 's a tha ann an Sealann Nuadh.
Tha iomadh dΓΉbhlan aige - a' toirt droch naidheachd do dh' euslaintich is cuid eile a' fΓ gail an ospadail, a dh' aindheoin comhairle mheadaigeach air a' chaochladh.
Le sgioba-slàinte Māori fìor dhealasach, tha Euan ag ionnsachadh cuid dhen chànain is mun bhuaidh a th' aig an dualchas Māori air obair an ospadail.

NΓ¬ e a-mach nach eil cothroman co-ionnann aig an t-sluagh Māori thaobh cΓΉram-slΓ inte is bruidhnidh e ri cuid a dh' fhuiling thaobh grΓ in-chinnidh. Tha e cuideachd a' faighinn eΓ²las air beairteas an dualchais. Tha e na neach-loidhne air sgiobaidhean Māori aig geama rugbaidh, ag ionnsachadh haka 's a' comharrachadh na Bliadhn' Γ™ire Māori.
Coinnichidh Euan ri GΓ idheil a rinn an dachaigh san dΓΉthaich 's gheibh e aithne air Γ¨iceo-shiostam geΓ²-theasach.
