While nearly thirty percent of the Northern Region population identify with an ethnicity within the ‘Asian’ group, it is clear that the composition of this aggregated group differs substantially across the rohe.

This has important implications for population and health system planning. This report describes the demography of Asian communities living in the rohe of the Northern Region District Health Boards to inform the planning, funding, and implementation of health services.

The information presented points to the need for the health system to develop a more nuanced understanding of the diverse health profiles and experiences of Asian communities locally, regionally, and nationally.
