Ethnicity Variations in Pathways to Care and Diagnosis of Endometriosis and Persistent Pelvic Pain in Aotearoa New Zealand
European women are privileged in Aotearoa compared to Māori, Pacific and Asian people in secondary referral and population waitlisting for surgery. This privilege was not evident in waitlisting for surgery from the gynaecology clinic. We suggest that a nationally consistent approach to the management of endometriosis and persistent pelvic pain is required.
