New Zealand failing to track health data on conditions disproportionately affecting women
New Zealand is not properly capturing health data on conditions that predominantly affect women, contributing to a widening health gap.
New Zealand's health system is not adequately tracking data on conditions that primarily affect women, leaving a significant gap in understanding the scope and impact of these diseases. The lack of proper data collection is contributing to what experts describe as a health gap affecting women at higher rates than men. The country currently has no clear picture of what these conditions are costing the health system and wider society.
