Submission to the New Zealand Royal Commission COVID-19 Lessons Learned Te Tira Ārai Urutā public consultation

Rare Disorders NZ commends New Zealand's public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic that meant mortality from Covid-19 in New Zealand has been kept relatively low compared to other similar nations.

To perform better in any future pandemic or health crises, it is crucial to acknowledge that individuals within the rare disorder community have encountered significant challenges from the onset of the pandemic until today. These challenges are likely to persist in the future, both concerning COVID-19 and beyond.
