Kiwis have a long history of great achievements. Everyone knows we were the first to split the atom and give women the right to vote, but did you know that we've achieved A LOT of things in health and medicine, too? For a start, it was a Timaru inventor who created the first ever disposable syringe. And a doctor from West Otago made a world-first discovery about chronic fatigue syndrome. How about the amazing Kiwi who introduced air-based search-and-rescue missions after witnessing a disaster? And let's not forget the clever minds behind the high-tech medical imaging that helps to save lives every day.

Discover how to live a happier life - simple, traditional wisdom for difficult modern times. Aroha is an ancient Maori word and way of thinking.
