Advocate Calls for Sustainable Medicines Funding Plans

Tim Edmonds of the Forbidden Pharmacy campaign advocates for a sustainable approach to funding medicines. He believes the current political options fall short of what is needed.

Edmonds argues that most political parties are not providing sufficient long-term solutions for medicines funding. He emphasises the importance of a stable funding model that ensures accessibility for all New Zealanders.

Currently, the discussions around medicines funding seem to focus on short-term fixes. Edmonds stresses that a comprehensive and sustainable approach is crucial for future healthcare.

His campaign aims to raise awareness about the need for better planning in this area. By pushing for a longer-term strategy, Edmonds hopes to influence policy and make medicines more accessible to everyone.
