Description
Kiwis have a long history of great achievements. Everyone knows we were the first to split the atom and give women the right to vote, but did you know that we’ve achieved A LOT of things in health and medicine, too?
For a start, it was a Timaru inventor who created the first ever disposable syringe. And a doctor from West Otago made a world-first discovery about chronic fatigue syndrome. How about the amazing Kiwi who introduced air-based search-and-rescue missions after witnessing a disaster? And let’s not forget the clever minds behind the high-tech medical imaging that helps to save lives every day.
There have been so many amazing achievements by our very own KIWI HEALTH HEROES over the last hundred years. Forge your
own path through this fascinating book and discover them all!
