Drug manufacturing companies have increased the prices of life-saving drugs. Exorbitant prices of medicines in the presence of unsatisfactory health facilities in government hospitals are a great blow to the ill.

The Pakistan Drug Regularity Authority should play an effective role in controlling the price hikes for medicines, especially those of life-saving drugs.
