About the NZMJ
The New Zealand Medical Journal (NZMJ) is the principal scientific journal for the medical profession in New Zealand. The Journal has become a fundamental resource for providing research and written pieces from the health and medical industry.
The first edition of the NZMJ was published in 1887, marking the beginning of a rich 136-year history. It was a key asset of the New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA) up until July 2022.
It is now owned by the Pasifika Medical Association Group (PMAG).
The PMAG was formed in 1996 by a group of Pasifika health professionals who identified a need for an association with the purpose of “providing opportunities to enable Pasifika peoples to reach their aspirations”.
PMAG acknowledges the NZMA and the years of work that has gone into the development of the Journal. PMAG endeavours to build on this pioneering legacy and looks forward to the ongoing contributions and support of the New Zealand medical industry.
