Pharmac The death rate from CHD is more than twice as high for men than women. It's killing our men, our uncles, our fathers, our brothers, our Kaumatua. Maori have the highest death rates followed by Pacific people. And we are losing them too young. Over half of the Maori men and Pacific men and one third of Maori and Pacific women, who died of CHD, were under the age of 65. The PHARMAC One Heart Many Lives programme has been developed to do something about this. It started as a national awareness raising campaign encouraging men to eat better, move more and get to their GP for a check. Since then, PHARMAC have started working with DHB and PHO organisations to bring the programme to life at a local level in regions of high risk. AKP Contacts Aukati Kai Paipa is a kanohi ki te kanohi service that is delivered locally within most communities. This programme offers Māori, and their whānau, the opportunity to address their smoking addiction through a range of services. Services include free nicotine patches or gum, motivational counselling and ongoing support. These services are delivered by Māori quit coaches over a period of up to 12-months.
