Additional Information
New Zealand represents a small but highly developed market for medical equipment. The country has a well-developed health infrastructure, and facilities are of a generally high standard. Since the early 1980s, the healthcare system in New Zealand has been the target of numerous economic reforms. Historically, healthcare provision has been almost entirely public, but radical changes implemented by the National Party government in 1993 introduced elements of competition and private enterprise into the healthcare sector, with limited success.
The election of a Labour Party-led coalition government in November 1999 has produced a further overhaul of the healthcare system, and the Party was subsequently re-elected in July 2002. A series of reforms are in the process of implementation, comprising some major structural reorganisation such as the abolition of the Health Funding Authority in 2001, in a move towards more de-centralised healthcare provision with the increased responsibility of District Health Boards, but the shift is not of the same radical nature which the country has undergone in the past.
The best access to the market is through the appointment of a local agent. Around three quarters of New Zealand’s medical supplies are purchased by the MoH, while private hospitals and individual surgeons account for the remainder. For advanced products, the private sector becomes much more significant.
