The Ministry of Health has officially reported a huge drop in Prices of Emergency Medicines to make fundamental medications all the more generally accessible.
The Cabinet’s approval, which is an essential initial phase in this undertaking, shows how committed the public authority is to making medical services more reasonable.
The initiative’s main proponent, Health Minister Nadeem Jan, focused on the lower costs expected particularly for prescriptions that intensive care unit (ICU) patients require.
Notably, there is a significant price reduction of 55–65% for the medication Colistimethate Sodium.
Minister Nadeem Jan dissected the numbers and emphasized the remarkable pricing adjustments. A one million unit injection used to cost Rs 2987, but today it only costs Rs 1036.
Likewise, the 2 million unit injection, which was formerly priced at Rs 4564, is currently offered for Rs 1737. The 3 million unit injection is now only going to cost Rs 2591 instead of Rs 5855.
