This document discusses health culture and practices among Indian immigrants. It outlines that India has a large and diverse population facing major health challenges like infectious and cardiovascular diseases. When Indians immigrate to New Zealand, they initially display healthier profiles than locals due to selection biases, though health declines over time with reduced physical activity and diet changes. Barriers to healthcare include language issues and unfamiliarity with the New Zealand system. Developing cultural competence among providers, understanding traditional Indian practices, employing visual communication methods, and involving family can help improve healthcare for Indian immigrants.
