Health Ministry reports show no intention of increasing medication prices, but multinational manufacturers are pushing for a mandated price hike in August, said Osama Rostom, vice chairman of the Federation of Egyptian Industries’ pharma division, according to Ahram Gate. His statements came as the ministry completed assessing prices on 1,200 meds so far, says division member Mohey Hafez. The committee is scheduled to submit a status report to the House of Representatives in August.
