Revision of ceiling prices for scheduled drugs by NPPA
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) aims to meet twin objectives by revising the ceiling prices of scheduled drugs:
- To ensure that essential medicines are available at reasonable prices to the general public, especially for life-saving drugs and treatments.
- To regulate the prices of scheduled drugs to prevent pharmaceutical companies from overcharging and profiteering, thus making healthcare more accessible and affordable to all segments of society.
