Ā Our Petition Reaches over 8,000 Signatures
Weāre thrilled to share that our recent petition calling for Government funding to support MedicAlertĀ® Services has received an incredible 8,040 signatures. This strong show of public support highlights how much New Zealanders value the life-saving protection MedicAlertĀ® provides.
