Healthy Populations
The Healthy Populations team provides leadership in population health issues such as nutirition, physical activity, tobacco control and Sunsmart. The direction is determined through strategies like the Healthy Eating Healty Action (HEHA) Strategic Plan and the Tobacco Control Strategy. The direction targets settings i.e. schools, Kohanga Reo, workplaces, marae and communities. The Healthy Populations team aims to ensure that any planning and facilitation addresses the need to reduce health inequalities, provide the opportunity for consultation, and work with a collaborative approach both within the health sector and alongside other sectors.
