Soon, Cancer Drugs At Half-Price From Govt Outlets ?

In a first-ever initiative to bring down prices of expensive cancer medication, the government plans to retail them through its `Jan Aushadhi' stores, which offer essential `unbranded' drugs at discounted rates. It has already initiated talks with domestic pharma companies to procure cancer drugs. To start with, first line cancer medicines may be sourced from major companies like Cipla, Sun Pharma and Dr Reddy's, and offered at nearly half the price at `Jan Aushadhi' stores to be set up at state hospitals where cancer is diagnosed and treated.
