NCEA Level 2 Health is the Level 2 component of the New Zealand Health learning area, described by NZQA as being about the wellbeing of individuals, whānau and communities, and about developing an understanding of the factors that influence the health of these groups. It sits within the Health and Physical Education learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum and is intended for secondary students working at Level 2 of the NCEA qualification, typically in Year 12, although your school may organise its courses differently and may use its own course names - NZQA notes that the subject names listed on its site are the official ones, so ask your kaiako if you are unsure which subject a course belongs to. The NCEA Level 2 Health Education case studies are 5 cases and about 3,169 words.
