✦AI Summary
Patient advocacy groups in New Zealand are hosting an art installation called the 'Forbidden Pharmacy' to highlight the lack of government funding for essential medicines. The exhibit features locked medicine cabinets to represent treatments that patients are forced to pay for out-of-pocket or travel abroad to access.
Patients waiting for life-changing medicines to be funded say people should not have to fundraise, go into debt, or travel overseas for treatments and therapies that could be administered here.
