It’s time to put fairness into focus
19 June 2020 - Medicines New Zealand is today launching a digitally-enabled public awareness platform Fairness in Focus.
This has been built in response to results from surveys commissioned by Medicines New Zealand to recognise how New Zealanders currently view and understand the process and landscape for public funding of modern prescription medicines and vaccines in New Zealand.
The surveys found that the majority of New Zealanders were unaware of the process or timelines for how medicines are actually funded, but clearly had concerns about their ability to access both modern medicines and vaccines through the public health system.
