HealthPhoto: Hindustan TimesSupreme Court Questions System Favoring Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
The Supreme Court questioned why the entire system seems to support pharmaceutical manufacturers amid a large gap between medicine MRP and retailer prices. The bench, led by Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, criticized the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority as "totally defunct". The Centre defended its policy, stating medicine prices in India are among the lowest globally. The court reserved its order after hearing two petitions on medicine pricing.
