New Zealand pharmacists warn of crisis as 2026 policy change risks sustainability without clear funding.
New Zealand pharmacists are urging urgent funding reform ahead of February 2026 changes allowing 12-month prescriptions for stable long-term conditions, warning that unclear reimbursement plans threaten pharmacy sustainability.
Rising demand—over 1.8 million monthly users by September 2025—and a shrinking number of pharmacies (down to 1,069) strain an already overburdened system, with pharmacist density at just 8 per 10,000 people, below comparable nations.
Regional shortages, workforce challenges, and reliance on retail profits for clinical services heighten concerns about access, especially for vulnerable populations.
