New Zealand Health Strategy
This publication sets the direction for achieving pae ora, healthy futures for all New Zealanders over the next 10 years.
The New Zealand Health Strategy sets out how New Zealand’s health system can improve people’s access to and experiences of health services so that everyone benefits – both individually, through better accessibility, quality and efficiency of care; and collectively, as we all benefit from having a healthier population.
The New Zealand Health Strategy will help achieve a shift in thinking, so that health is not just viewed as an outcome, but as an enabler of wellbeing.
