Description
Arthritis New Zealand aims to improve the life of every person affected by arthritis. We are a national charity that provides information, advice and support to people diagnosed with any of the more than 140 forms of arthritis. Arthritis affects more than 700,000 New Zealanders and is a leading cause of disability. There is no cure for arthritis, but the condition can usually be managed effectively. Most people with arthritis continue to lead productive and fulfilling lives.
We also advocate for people with arthritis by funding research, contributing to health policy, and collaborating with healthcare professionals.
