About NZSMI
NZSMI (New Zealand Self Medication Industry) is the premier body representing companies involved in the manufacture and distribution of non-prescription consumer healthcare products in New Zealand. The association also represents related businesses including advertising, public relations, legal, statistical and regulatory consultancy companies and individuals.
Our purpose is to promote the best interests of our members through negotiation, debate and cooperation with a wide range of stakeholders in our own region and around the world. We also gather the best and most current information from diverse sources and disseminate it our members to alert them to potential issues that may affect their product or its market.
NZSMI is a member of the World Self Medication Industry (WSMI) and our President and Executive Director sit on the board of that organisation. WSMI is a non-government organisation made up of over 50 member associations located on all continents of the world with affiliations to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Our membership of WSMI enables us to track and contribute to international trends and developments in consumer healthcare.
