Health Ministry gives in on pricing for meds treating chronic conditions: The Health Ministry has reportedly agreed to pharma producers’ demands and will raise the prices of meds used to treat chronic diseases, sources tell AMAY. The ministry “had no choice” but to agree to the hike to avoid facing a shortage in those types of medications later on, they added. The government had said in a statement that it would only increase prices for medications that treat non-chronic illnesses, provoking a backlash from pharma producers.
