Pharma Covid-19 plea to government 'let us help'

Medicines New Zealand says a health ministry statement on Nine to Noon was the first it heard about the government's plans to bring together 'the key players in a coordinated approach' on a national vaccine strategy. The industry group, which represents pharmaceutical companies operating in New Zealand, says it would welcome the opportunity to collaborate and offer industry know-how. Graeme Jarvis, CEO of Medicines New Zealand says the pharmaceutical world also has a key role to play as we wait for a vaccine.
