NPS MedicineWise will be gone by the end of the year
The charity was the driving force behind the Choosing Wisely campaign in Australia
NPS MedicineWise is being shut down for good.
The move announced this morning follows last week’s decision by the Federal Government to axe its $25 million in annual taxpayer funding.
Dr Andrew Knight, chair of the NPS MedicineWise board, said it would “prove to be a poor decision”.
“[It] will make the safe and wise use of medicines in Australia much harder to achieve.
