PERTH, Australia and MIAMI, May 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LumaCina, the pharmaceutical supplier and marketing division of Bridgewest Perth Pharma announce new production of Oral Morphine to meet critical drug shortage in New Zealand.

"We're committed to addressing the shortage of Oral Morphine for patients who need access to this vital pain medication"

The shortfall of Oral Morphine has become increasingly concerning in New Zealand, adversely affecting patients who rely on this medication to manage pain effectively. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, LumaCina has been actively working in partnership with Pharmac, New Zealand's government agency responsible for pharmaceutical funding and access, to bridge the supply gap. LumaCina has made substantial investments to expand capabilities for steady supply of Oral Morphine.

Mirsaidi, Global CEO for LumaCina and Bridgewest Perth Pharma.

Through our ingenuity and resources, we aim to make a significant and lasting impact on the healthcare landscape and the lives of all," said Dr. Masood Tayebi, CEO and Founding Partner of global private equity firm, Bridgewest Group.

Last year, Bridgewest Group made a key strategic move to broaden its life science ecosystem, expanding capabilities throughout research and development, manufacturing, and delivery.
