At Manatū Hauora - Ministry of Health we are the kaitiaki of the health system, providing leadership and driving strategy and performance. We regulate the health sector and are the primary source of advice on health matters.
Mental health, addiction and suicide prevention are health system and government priorities, with the Ministry as chief advisor to the Minister for Mental Health and leading a whole-of-government approach to mental wellbeing.
