New Zealand, its people and health care services are described, followed by a discussion of (i) the role of government and non-government agencies in the funding, provision and purchasing of health care and (ii) persistent problems in the health care system. The authors argue that recent New Zealand health care reforms represent a significant deviation from past policies. However, to have any prospect of being judged as successful, the reforms must address difficulties in the funding, purchasing and provision of health care that are not new but have been features of New Zealand health care over many years.
本文描述了新西兰及其人民和医疗服务，接着讨论了（i）政府和非政府机构在医疗保健资金、提供和采购方面的作用，以及（ii）医疗保健系统中持续存在的问题。作者认为，新西兰最近的医疗改革与过去的政策有重大偏差。然而，要想有被判定为成功的任何前景，改革必须解决医疗保健资金、采购和提供方面存在的困难，这些困难并非新问题，而是多年来新西兰医疗保健的特点。
