New Zealand has some of the highest rates of asthma, respiratory illness, bronchitis, and preventable third-world diseases in the world. While our colder climate may seem like an obvious culprit, research by the University of Otago, BRANZ, and other experts have shown that the poor quality of our homes is a significant contributing factor to our poor health outcomes. In fact, countries with much colder climates have much better health outcomes due to better housing standards.
Unfortunately, many homes in New Zealand fall below these temperature thresholds, with some measuring less than 12 degrees Celsius and many more measuring less than 16 degrees Celsius overnight. This poses a serious risk to the health and well-being of our communities.
New Zealanders are known for their resilience, but when it comes to the health of our loved ones, we can't simply toughen up and soldier on. Breathing in air that is too cold can result in serious respiratory and cardiovascular issues, which may require hospitalization. Don't wait until it's too late, reach out for help today.
