Increase production and supply of medicines

The general rule of the economy is that when supply is less than demand, commodity prices rise. But keep in mind, medicine is not a luxury consumer product. Human life and death depend on it. In this case, protecting the interests of the buyer is much more important. The country has not been in the grip of an epidemic for a year and a half. Outbreaks of dengue are currently associated with it. Besides, there are other diseases. The hospitals of the country are full of patients. Naturally,
The demand for medicines has increased. Many drug dealers are taking advantage of this. They have increased the prices of many essential medicines. The Department of Drug Administration says no drug has been raised in a year and a half. The drug companies are saying the same thing. So why are the sellers raising the prices of medicines and causing misery to the common people? Medicine is not a luxury consumer product. Human life and death depend on it. In this case, protecting the interests of the buyer is much more important.
That is why we want all kinds of cooperation from the government for the development of the pharmaceutical industry. However, everything has to be done keeping in view the quality of medicines and proper control of the internal market. To this end, it is important to take regular monitoring of the drug market.
