Our goal is simple but ambitious: we want all New Zealanders to achieve pae ora | healthy futures.

Our health system, like others around the world, is under pressure as a result of COVID-19, preventable health conditions, workforce challenges, infrastructure, increasing demand and an ageing population.

We are also setting the Ministry up to be better able to respond to global trends that are affecting health systems all over the world. The steps we are taking now will put us in a stronger position to lead the system that supports New Zealanders to live longer, healthier lives.
