New Zealand/Insurance Health Stamps?

Quote:
The unprecedented decision in 1890 to allow the New Zealand Government Life Insurance Department to use a distinctive stamp of its own made the office unique in-so-far as no other life insurance institution in the world enjoyed such a privilege.

Over the years the stamps were limited to the prepayment of postage on correspondence posted by the Government Life Insurance office for delivery within New Zealand but on 27 March 1969 this condition was relaxed and the stamps could be used on mail to both inland and overseas addresses.

Health stamps

Health stamps are a distinctive New Zealand issue known by collectors around the world. The first ever Health stamp was issued on 11 December 1929 and featured the slogan 'Help Stamp out Tuberculosis'.

At the suggestion of the Health Department, it was decided that the Health stamps would carry a surcharge of 1d, which would be donated to the Children's Health Camps. These camps were started in Whanganui in 1919 to provide holiday health care for children with nutritional and minor physical problems.

Today, Health stamps still contribute to the seven Children's Health Camps around New Zealand, which aim to help children and families with complex needs to build healthy and happy lives.
