6 December 2023 - PHARMAC is drafting its first Equity Policy which outlines the mahi PHARMAC does, can do, or needs to do, to achieve equity in health outcomes for priority populations.

“Under the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022, the health and disability system should be equitable. This includes ensuring Māori, and other priority population groups, have access to services in proportion to their health needs, receive equitable levels of service, and achieve equitable health outcomes.” says Dr Ngawati.
