Capacity to manufacture key pharmaceuticals in New Zealand after a global catastrophe
This preliminary analysis suggests that none of the 10 most extensively prescribed pharmaceuticals that can be used for acute treatments could be manufactured in New Zealand after a trade-ending global catastrophe. To address this and other domains lacking in resiliency (e.g., liquid fuel supply), planning for building shared resiliency with other neighbouring nations (e.g., Australia) could be considered.
