Health Committee.
Therapeutic products are medicines, medical devices, natural health products (NHPs), and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The purpose of the Therapeutic Products Bill is to protect, promote, and improve the health of all New Zealanders. It would do this by providing for the acceptable safety, quality, and efficacy or performance of medicines, medical devices, and APIs across their life cycle. The bill would also provide for the acceptable safety and quality of NHPs across their life cycle.
