New Zealand splits medical device procurement between Health NZ and Pharmac to fix delays and cut costs.
New Zealand has restructured its medical device procurement system, splitting responsibilities between Health NZ and Pharmac to end years of delays and inefficiency.
Health NZ will manage facility-specific devices like hospital beds, while Pharmac handles complex therapeutic devices such as implants.
The change, aimed at improving transparency, coordination, and access to essential equipment, follows criticism that the previous system was fragmented and slow.
The $1.5 billion annual procurement process will now be streamlined, with collaboration on major purchases and bulk buying to boost cost efficiency.
