Crackdown against pharma companies launched for hike in medicine prices

medicines are not like ordinary products,human life comes at stake if proper quality of medicine is not given at proper time,if govt forces without taking in consideration actual cost for manufacturing and buying as well as transport or tax cost then it increases risk of unavailability or selling of expired or fake medicines
Well I am not sure what the set of rule is and how fair or unfair it is...So cant comment if it is not fair....

I think it is reasonable ...however, you know how our own people are...jacking prices when they feel like...Govt even regulates prices of vegetables...Now is that not "unfair"?

When people themselves have no aqal...that sell lower ....they will prefer to let the produce rot then sell lower...For such mentality you do need danda!


That is the sad mentality...Agar meri nai chali, mein strike kerta houn! Childish and stupid ...wasting the country!

I mean sure you are allowed to demonstrate but stop making it a habit: kabhi lawyers, kabhi teachers, kabhi traders, kabhi farmers tay kabhi PhD holders!

What petrol goes into your medicine? These price hikes are nothing but gunda gardi. This is international behavior of pharmaceutical industry. You cannot let it continue fearing retaliation.

We are not talking about all meds nor all companies...

against the pharma companies for illegal and unauthorized increase in prices of medicines.

The body is against ILLEAL AND UNAUTHORIZED increase in prices...if other countries can sell on price margin the govt has set why cant these 31?

As you can see OP....it talks abt 31 companies and some 143 meds....I can assure you this country has more than a 143 meds :)

One hundred and forty three medicines have also been seized for being sold at high price.

you can take our policy as an example
Yea I have heard of this....I dont know why we have such shitty policies...Looks like someone died in this dept since past 40 yrs only the dead soul has been "ruling" this dept!
 
Media would be like oh look govt us doing so wrong

So do we but the API comes from India because it is the cheapest. It was in the news that India has blocked API sales to Pakistan but then it would be procured through offshore as is the case already <-which is how pharmaceutical actually make money.
 
regulation and license should be on fair basis when govt makes business difficult no one will invest in our country and economy will suffer

you are implying from a western prespective.
We're not a 100% capitalist country.

You should see the regulation strictness in the asian countries.
Pakistan is way behind.

the only countries who let these loose is in the west.
