Our Mission To inspire men to make positive and rewarding lifestyle choices by providing education programmes, research and information that encourage and promote good men's health. About Us The Men’s Health Trust New Zealand is a not-for-profit Trust established in 2007 as a national charity. We desperately want to change the way men think about their health and encourage them to proactively visit their doctors and take responsibility for living healthy lives. New Zealand men go to a doctor three times less than women. They die from 3,000 preventable deaths every year – one every three hours. Of the ten most common causes of death facing New Zealanders, men top all of them. Many of these deaths could have been prevented or conditions treated earlier if men took better care of themselves. These preventable deaths are caused by smoking, obesity and diabetes, alcohol and driving, mental health and suicide, cancers and heart attacks.
