Conference Testimonials
Talofa lava and warm windy pasifka greetings
I wish to express my deepest graditude to the He Kakano conference committee for the sudsidy that I received. I was really touched about what networks there are for Pacific people in the health sector. It was great meeting them as well. I learnt that there are many resources outside our Southland district. The knowledge that I have received helps me to keep a balanced perspective in the work that I do. Also I have met new and old friends, built realtionships and will cherish this. Fa'afetai lava and warmest thanks to all. Elsie Freeman

• Congratulations to you and the team for such a successful conference. I found the depth of content in the keynotes most interesting and also appreciated the opportunity to sample the range of workshops focused on outcomes. I have already incorporated material from the conference in material for our staff, so thanks for relevant, applicable information! My team of national clinical advisers also attended and found it similarly valuable. Please pass on our thanks to the members of the organising committee.
