New Zealand Health Strategy

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.
