Pharmacy Daily | EBOS seals major deal in New Zealand

SYMBION Pharmacy’s parent company EBOS will provide the warehousing and distribution of medical and non-medical consumables across New Zealand’s national public hospital network. The agreement between EBOS subsidiary Onelink and the NZ government-owned company Health Benefits Limited will also see the firm provide pharmaceutical distribution to certain public hospitals across the country. EBOS md Mark Waller said the agreement is recognition by the government of the “expertise and further efficiencies Onelink can deliver for the benefit of the health system and taxpayers. “Onelink will be incentivised to introduce further efficiencies throughout the term of the contract which will deliver further benefits,” he said. Onelink already currently supplies healthcare consumables to a number of NZ District Health Boards (DHBs) and has been servicing the market for 20 years. Under the new agreement the firm will work in partnership with NZ govt agency healthAlliance FPSC Limited, which will assume ownership and procurement of the product stream to be distributed through the Onelink logistics network to all 20 District Health Boards across the country.
