Pharmac chief executive Sarah Fitt has resigned, with her departure effective from May 30, 2025, following a turbulent tenure marked by public and political pressure.
Her resignation follows a petition with over 100,000 signatures in 2021 calling for her removal, as well as past controversies, including leaked emails that drew backlash for their perceived dismissive tone toward patient concerns.
Fitt’s leadership faced criticism over drug funding decisions, particularly regarding cancer treatments and hormone replacement therapy.
While Associate Health Minister David Seymour acknowledged her contributions, both the Pharmac Minister and chairwoman previously refrained from expressing confidence in her.
Fitt’s resignation follows a wave of departures among top health officials in New Zealand.
Don’t let her jump the ship like rat.
Charge her with crimes against humanity.
They can run, but can they escape?
Hell hath no fury like mothers scorned!
Might want to have an inquiry into the sub-minions too:

…like, check their side-hustle conflicts and their remunerations vs their bank accounts.
Wow g u I l t y guilty the whole lot of you! Murders bloomers and chippy your turn NOW 😡🤬🤬🤬
Another rat leaving the ship. Ruins the country’s health system and leaves the mess for others to clean up 😡
Narcissist CEO who never was fit for the position the only way she found her way to the top is because of DEI ideology
