Precision health: Exploring opportunities and challenges to predict, prevent, diagnose, and treat disease more precisely in Aotearoa New Zealand: draft briefing
Overview
Manatū Hauora (the Ministry of Health) is seeking written feedback on this draft of its Long-term Insights Briefing (the briefing) by 5pm on 19 June 2023.
This briefing represents the start of a conversation about how we use current and emerging technologies toward precision health specifically. However, it is also part of a much larger conversation that is happening across Aotearoa following the health reform, to understand the actions we need to take into the future to ensure all people and whānau live long, fulfilling lives in good health, are supported to maintain their health and well-being, are part of healthy and inclusive communities, and live in richly resourced environments designed to enhance their quality of life and reduce stressors.
The feedback we receive on this draft briefing will help us develop the final briefing that will be submitted to Parliament and form a platform to influence our work into the future.
This is the second phase of a 2-phase public consultation approach to develop our briefing. You can make your submission by:
