Let’s stop avoidable deaths in NZ. Sign this petition for better health care funding for Pharmac
Did you know that NZ’s spend on medicine is the lowest of comparable OECD countries?
Or that in the last 5 years there were 3631 avoidable deaths due to a shortfall in funding for medicines?
How about that if you have advanced breast cancer and live outside of New Zealand you are twice as likely to survive?

Australia funds 103 medicines that NZ does not have access to.
Is it fair that Kiwi women and men face worse health outcomes than patients in other comparable countries?
Maori women with breast cancer are 37% more likely to die than non-Maori.
As a breast cancer survivor I am committed to campaigning for others so they can have the best access to health care they deserve.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
