Janssen Egypt calls on Health Ministry to raise meds prices

Johnson & Johnson’s pharma arm Janssen Pharmaceuticals Egypt called on Health Minister Ahmed Rady to raise medication prices in accordance with an agreement Rady had reached with pharma companies in January to hike prices in August, Al Borsa reports. Pharma companies have been lobbying for several months to increase prices following fuel price hikes, particularly as Rady had promised to look into a second hike following the January increase.
