Overview

The KidsHealth website has been created by a partnership between the Paediatric Society of New Zealand (PSNZ) and the Starship Foundation, supported and funded by the Ministry of Health. PSNZ is a multidisciplinary society committed to improving the health of children and young people. With its membership of a broad range of child and youth health professionals, PSNZ is well placed to develop content for the KidsHealth website that is useful for parents and is up to date, accurate and valid. The Starship Foundation is a charitable trust which raises funds for medical equipment, support services, research and paediatric training to boost children and young people's health in New Zealand. The Foundation has a high charity profile within New Zealand. The Ministry of Health leads New Zealand's health and disability system, and has overall responsibility for the management and development of that system. Together, our mission is to provide accurate and reliable information about children's health for New Zealand parents and caregivers, as well as the wider family and whānau who are involved in caring for children.
