PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE – ‘DETERMINING OUR FUTURE REPORT’ - WEBINAR RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE

The PHANZ recently hosted a special lunchtime webinar with the Public Health Advisory Committee (PHAC) to support the launch of their important new report, Determining our Future.

The PHAC is an independent expert advisory committee established under the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022.

It’s been 25 years since Aotearoa’s last major report on the determinants of health. This new report examines trends since 2000 in the distribution of the determinants of health (such as income, housing, cultural identity and social cohesion) and in health outcomes, and why these are unevenly distributed in our society.

It looks forward to 2040, and assesses new challenges to health equity and wellbeing, including the impacts of commercial interests and of the ‘megatrends’ – the climate crisis, AI and technology. It proposes actions for government across three broad areas.

The recording of the webinar is now available on the PHANZ website and features members of the PHAC, Kevin Hague and Professor Peter Crampton, who share insights into what needs to change if we are to create a healthier, fairer future.

✨ A must-watch for anyone working in public health, policy, or community wellbeing.
