Bowel disease patients to march on PHARMAC and Parliament to present 30,000+ signature petition
27 November 2020 - On 2 December 2020, Crohn’s and Colitis NZ will lead a march of patients, supporters and medical specialists on PHARMAC and Parliament to present a petition pleading for access to ustekinumab, an urgently-needed medication for New Zealanders suffering with severe Crohn’s and Colitis, for whom all other treatments have failed.
The march is the culmination of an intense three-month nationwide campaign to highlight the desperate need for this treatment.
