The Opportunity

New Zealand's government is investing an additional $600 million in new medicines, including cancer medicines over the coming four years. As a part of this initiative the government is also investing in the people and facilities required to provide these medicines to New Zealanders.

These positions have been created to support the first tranche of new medicines with more to come as Health NZ develops its plans to expand and make it easier for New Zealanders to access cancer treatment.
