Academic career

[2] A graduate in science and medicine, with postgraduate qualifications in obstetrics and community health, she is a Fellow of the New Zealand College of Public Health Medicine. Papaarangi is known for her advocacy on health inequities for Māori and other Indigenous peoples, focusing on increasing Māori and Pacifica representation in health professions and improving the cultural safety of healthcare in New Zealand.

In 2007 Reid won the Public Health Association's Tū Rangatira mō te Ora award. [4]

Reid is one of the founders and co-leaders of Te Rōpū Whakakaupapa Urutā, the National Māori Pandemic Group, set up in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand. [5] [6]

Researches

Papaaragni Reid and other researchers conducted a research study published in 2022 [7] to access the health inequities that indigenous people in New Zealand face. The study was made to determine in which areas in the health department do the Māori people suffer the most with and find ways to achieve equality between Indigenous and non-indigenous people. Data was obtained from the New Zealand government regarding hospitalization, mortality and other factors for adults aged over 15 years old, from 2003-2014. The results conducted that health inequities between Māori and non- Māori are estimated at NZ$863 million and are divided into direct and indirect cost. Underutilization of healthcare benefits the government and negatively impacts the health factor of the Māori.
