Rajya Sabha MP Dola Sen’s supplementary question on measures being taken by the government to reduce the prices of medicines needed by pregnant women and newborn children and of life-saving medicines, like those for cancer, blood pressure, diabetes and others

Sir, you are most welcome back. Hope you are in good health and spirit! Somehow, nowadays, the price of the general medicines needed for the pregnant women, general medicines needed for the newborn children, which is very much related for Janani Shishu Suraksha, the life saving drugs for the mother and child, for the cancer patients, for the high blood pressure diabetes patients also are increasing day by day. Crores of common, downtrodden people, mothers and children are suffering always for this reason. Through you, Sir, I want to know what measure is being taken by the Union Government to address these people’s issues so that the price of medicines may be reduced.
