Description
By the early 2020s, New Zealand’s public health system faced deep-seated and widely acknowledged problems. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, performance on key indicators—from emergency department waits to access to elective surgery—had been declining. These trends reflected structural fragmentation, variable local governance, outdated infrastructure and the absence of a coherent national delivery model.
