New strategy from PHARMAC to help Pacific communities in New Zealand
28 June 2017 - The New Zealand drug buying agency PHARMAC has released the Pacific Responsiveness Strategy after a year of consultation with health professionals and Pacific communities.
PHARMAC's chief executive hopes the strategy will encourage Pacific people to be proactive with seeking the right health care available for them.
The agency said prescription costs in New Zealand had prevented 17% of Pacific adults from collecting prescription drugs in the past year.
