These reports are part of the Tupu Ola Moui Pacific Health Chart Book series, which provides comprehensive and up-to-date data on the health of Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand. This is the third edition for Tupu Ola Moui with earlier publications in 2004 and 2012.
Designed as a clear and accessible resource, this series offers straightforward descriptions of key health data to enable users to further analyse and interpret their implications. The Tupu Ola Moui series serves as a foundational reference point for understanding the current state of Pacific health.
It is essential to view Pacific health through a distinctly Pacific lens, one that recognises the interconnectedness of people, families, communities, and the broader determinants of health. While the Tupu Ola Moui series provides clear and accessible descriptions of key health data similar to other health sector publications, a deeper understanding requires us to consider the cultural, social, and historical contexts that shape Pacific health outcomes.
This broader perspective enables a more holistic interpretation that reflects the richness and complexity of Pacific worldviews. A key limitation of the series is that the data are not yet framed within a Pacific health framework that brings together these wider connections. Without this, the full story of Pacific health remains incomplete.
This series represents an important starting point, but it is not sufficient on its own. Further work is needed to embed Pacific knowledge systems, values, and lived experiences into the way health data is interpreted and used. Only then can we truly reflect the realities and aspirations of Pacific peoples.
The series is made up of the following reports.
