The construction of a NZD $1.6 million Tonga Pharmaceutical Facility at Veitongo is on target to be completed by March 2023.

Funded by New Zealand, this project aims to strengthen Tonga's Health System in essential medicines, health products procurement, inventory management, and distribution.

The facility will help to ensure that patients will have timely access to safe, quality and efficacious medicines and health products.

The New Zealand High Commission in Nuku'alofa stated, this project is part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s support to Tonga’s covid-19 response and recovery plan.

The construction is making excellent progress, and the building contractor has estimated that the construction is now four-weeks ahead of schedule and on target to be completed by March 2023, subject to the weather.

The groundbreaking ceremony to start the construction work was held in July.
