Arthur Te Anini's story.

'This is my plan, it's been designed by me - not by the doctors, not by my children, but by me'.

Arthur Te Anini spent his working life as a driver in the New Zealand Army and overseas. He has two children. He has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is how he learnt about advance care planning. Arthur has been a strong advocate of advance care planning since the early days of the programme.

Arthur has prepared his advance care plan expressing his end-of-life wishes. He created his advance care plan to ensure his whānau knew his wishes about his end-of-life care. Now he can relax and enjoy each day.
