"Doctors Art Nahill and Glenn Colquhoun are on a two-week 'Hīkoi for Health' the length of the North Island, talking to as many people as possible about their experiences of the health system and their ideas of how it could be fixed.

The hīkoi would last only 13 days, and was limited to the North Island, because it was self-funded and carried out during their annual leave."
