Let’s stop avoidable deaths in NZ. Sign this petition for better health care funding for Pharmac

Dana from Richmond

Did you know that NZ’s spend on medicine is the lowest of comparable OECD countries?

Or that in the last 5 years there were 3631 avoidable deaths due to a shortfall in funding for medicines?

How about that if you have advanced breast cancer and live outside of New Zealand you are twice as likely to survive?

For more information visit: fairnessinfocus.co.nz...

Australia funds 103 medicines that NZ does not have access to.

Is it fair that Kiwi women and men face worse health outcomes than patients in other comparable countries?

Maori women with breast cancer are 37% more likely to die than non-Maori.

As a breast cancer survivor I am committed to campaigning for others so they can have the best access to health care they deserve.

If you are concerned about the underfunding of Pharmac and avoidable deaths in NZ then sign this petition now on this a link...

Act now! Sign. Share. Tell others.

Fast paced comedy!!

Naomi from Tahunanui

I have agreed at very short notice to be involved in a Nelson Fringe Festival show! Alice has turned 65. On her party evening, she nods off watching late-night telly, and wakes in Retirementland. A wacky adventure ensues - the Rat Race sweeps her along and a wry cat asks difficult questions.
A playful kiwi comedy about rediscovering identity, and exploring and embracing life beyond work.
Alice in Retirementland features all your favourite characters in crazy new scenes adapted especially for Alice's latest adventure - rediscovering what is really important to her now that she has reached retirement age.
This mad action will appeal to anyone whether or not they are in a similar stage of life - there will be laughs for everyone as you spot your childhood favourites in their new roles.
This fabulous perennial tale has lost nothing in the re-telling, and promises a great night out for all!
