The Healthy Families NZ Model

Overcoming Obesity: An initial economic analysis

“A systemic, sustained portfolio of initiatives, delivered at scale, is needed to address the health burden…

Imperative:

Deploy as many interventions as possible at scale and delivered effectively by the full range of sectors in society

No individual sectors in society…can address obesity on their own. Capturing the full potential impact requires engagement from as many sectors as possible

Experiment with solutions and don’t wait for the perfect proof of what works

…A combination of top-down corporate and government interventions with bottom-up community-led ones is required to change public-health outcomes”

McKinsey Global Institute – November 2014

Critical building blocks of a prevention system

• Dedicated, reflective and skilled workforce

• Building relationships with prevention partners across the system

• Capturing and feeding back knowledge and data

• Allocating resources to effect sustainable change

• Building leadership for prevention across the whole community
