The Women’s Health Strategy sets the direction for improving the health and wellbeing of women over the next 10 years.

This is the first time that Aotearoa New Zealand has had a Women’s Health Strategy. It sets long-term priorities which will guide the health system progress towards equity and healthy futures for women.
