Kia āta kōwhiri Choosing Wisely

The Choosing Wisely campaign seeks to reduce harm from unnecessary and low-value tests and treatment.

National review of avoidable deaths

Our role is to reduce avoidable deaths in Aotearoa New Zealand. We do this by analysing death-related statistics, reports and information on specific groups of deaths, such as family violence or babies and children, to reveal underlying causes.

In 2023 around 38,000 people died in Aotearoa, of which up to a quarter were potentially avoidable. We establish and report on how ethnicity, deprivation, the urban/rural divide, age, employment status, disability and access to medical care impact mortality. Our current programme includes four workstreams: child and youth, perinatal and maternal, perioperative, family violence.
