Life expectancy at birth in Niue is notably high compared to many Pacific Island nations, reflecting the territory's relatively strong healthcare infrastructure and small, closely managed population. Current estimates place average life expectancy at approximately 73 to 76 years overall, with women generally living several years longer than men — a pattern consistent with global trends. Niue's healthcare system is centered around the Niue Foou Hospital in Alofi, the island's capital, which provides primary and secondary care to the population.
