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.

Abstract

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.
