New Zealand is a high income country, and this is reflected in the overall good health status of the population. However like other wealthy countries New Zealand suffers from high rates of obesity and heart disease.[1] History of New Zealander's healthMāori life expectancy dropped from about 30 years in the 18th century to 25 years for men and 23 years from women by the end of the 19th.[2] Pre-contact Māori viewed disease as a punishment for breaking tribal tapu but also recognised that some families were prone to certain disease. The standard practice of tohunga was to isolate the victim in a small shelter. The most common serious disease was tuberculosis (kohi). However, Māori did not recognise the symptoms as being from one disease. Kohi was considered the work of demons and caused by Makutu (witchcraft).[3] Public health programs{{See also|Obesity in New Zealand}}There are public health campaigns for obesity, drinking, smoking and various vaccines.
