Description

PHARMAC is NZ's government agency which decides which medicines are funded within a fixed budget decided by the Minister of Health. They assess new medicines applications and make decisions about which ones are reimbursed and made available to New Zealanders. They also purchase and distribute funded vaccines to GPs for administration to eligible people. Lisa talks about the process of getting vaccines to high need areas at the time of an outbreak, as well as what is required to get a vaccine funded, so everyone has access.
