New Zealand to expand PHARMAC to the Pacific
19 July 2018 - New Zealand is looking at opening up access to its drug buying agency PHARMAC to five Pacific Island countries.
This follows complaints about countries paying too much and drugs taking too long to arrive.
The New Zealand government has a feasibility study underway to improve access to essential medicines for the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, Tonga and Samoa.
