NZSA’s Manifesto for the next general election 2026

The NZSA has sent health representatives within each parliamentary party our Manifesto for the Upcoming election. The NZSA’s Manifesto outlines priority areas the Society believes the government should embed into health policy and planning:

• Including anaesthetists in health policy development.
• Maintaining our high skill sets and standards of anaesthesia and sedation care.
• Implementing a coordinated plan for a cohesive public-private healthcare model.
• Making New Zealand’s health sector a competitive and attractive place to work.
• Reducing the social and economic burden of pain through system reform.
