    Good news for Osteoporosis patients - with access to a new drug about to get much easier


    Pharmac's widening access to Denosumab , and expects 2000 people will be able to receive the drug from March.

    Osteoporosis NZ Clinical Programme Director Christine Gill says it's something they've long been advocating for.
