The Pacific Medicines Testing Programme assures the safety of medicines in the region and provides participating countries with the opportunity to have up to five medicines tested per year, at no cost, in Australia’s world-class TGA testing facilities.
Other participating countries include Kiribati, Nauru, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
The first medicine tested from Tonga was a batch of insulin which had to be moved following Cyclone Gita.
