PHARMAC seeks views on access criteria for COVID-19 treatments
14 June 2022 - PHARMAC is seeking feedback on access criteria for two new COVID-19 treatments – tixagevimab with cilgavimab and sotrovimab.
“PHRMAC has only been able to secure limited volumes of COVID-19 treatments, so we are using access criteria to ensure that the medicines are given to those with the highest health need and those most likely to benefit from the treatment,” says Lisa Williams, PHARMAC’s Director of Operations. “Through our consultation process, we ask health professionals and stakeholders, including consumer groups and any other interested parties, for their feedback on the access criteria we are proposing. The consultation is also available on our website for anyone else wanting to have their say.”
