A roadmap for a healthier New Zealand.

New Zealand has an opportunity to reshape healthcare for the next generation. As demand rises, workforce shortages deepen, and costs continue to grow, incremental reform will no longer be enough.

A Healthier New Zealand: From Promise to Practice outlines a practical roadmap for delivering a more connected, productive and financially sustainable health system through nationally coordinated digital health.

Drawing on successful initiatives from New Zealand, Ontario, the NHS, and other leading health systems, the manifesto focuses on practical, implementable reforms rather than aspirational policy alone.

What’s included

  • A three-phase roadmap for implementing health system reform, from immediate priorities to long-term transformation.
  • Four strategic priorities to improve access, productivity and connected care.
  • Evidence from New Zealand and international health systems demonstrating successful digital health reform.
  • Policy recommendations to support implementation, interoperability, governance and public trust

By connecting information, services and care, New Zealand can reduce duplication, improve productivity, support frontline clinicians and deliver better value from every health dollar.

Explore the roadmap for health reform and the policy recommendations to help make it a reality.
