Cover Story: Endometriosis (mate kirikōpū) is an incurable condition thought to affect 10% of women and people presumed female at birth in Aotearoa New Zealand. This study assessed the experiences, perspectives, and priorities of Māori and Pasifika endometriosis patients. Māori and Pasifika patients experience long delays to diagnosis, high rates of drug-seeking accusations and weight-based discrimination, and perceive endometriosis treatment as not readily available. These difficulties in accessing management and care can dissuade these patients from seeking help and perpetuate existing healthcare inequities. In the future, it will be vital to ensure that advancements in endometriosis care incorporate cultural safety and holistic considerations for person-centred care into the healthcare structure.
