Welcome from the Director-General of Health, Kevin Woods

Kia ora and welcome to our new website. This site replaces our former website moh.govt.nz and provides a range of new features to improve access to health information.

More than 4000 New Zealanders visit the Ministry’s website every day and we have changed the structure and organised the content based on what our users have told us they need.

This new site aims to provide our health and disability sector colleagues and the public with easy access to the information they need, when they need it, in a way that works best for them.

A significant development in this website is a new section called ‘YourHealth’.  This section provides plain English information on topics of common interest, with links to other useful websites.

We hope that the new design and organisation of our website results in a better web experience for you.  If you'd like to know more about the website and how to use it, please read the Guide to our new website.

We would like to know what you think, so please give us your  feedback and suggestions for improvement.


Kevin Woods
Director-General of Health
