New Zealand will expand cystic fibrosis treatment access starting April 1, 2026, with no age limits and broader genetic eligibility.
Starting April 1, 2026, New Zealand will expand access to cystic fibrosis treatments including Trikafta, Kalydeco, and Alyftrek, with broader eligibility for genetic mutations and no age restrictions for funding.
The move, based on extensive public consultation, aims to enable earlier treatment to prevent lung damage, reduce hospitalizations, and improve quality of life.
While current Medsafe approvals limit Trikafta to ages two and older and Alyftrek to six and older, funding will now be based on clinical need.
The changes reflect efforts to improve long-term health outcomes and reduce strain on the healthcare system.
