This is not the solution. Now people will suffer in hand of medical store mafia. They will sell medicines from the companies they like (or benefit from). Doctors are lesser mafia than these medical store/wholesale dealers.
DRAP should regulate medicine prices and only allow local pharmaceutical companies/medicines importers to sell medicine at reasonable/logical prices (at around manufacturing costs with reasonable profit). This will also discourage pharmaceutical companies to pay any commission to doctors if they are unable to sell drugs on their desired rates.

Holistic approach is needed to tackle the issue. Even if a doctor prescribes generic name of the medicine, pharmaceutical companies will offer greater profit margins and incentives to pharmacies so that they sell their medicines. Drap should ensure quality of medicines and regulate prices. If a drug is available for Rs. 10, drap should ensure competitors are selling same medicine in same price range rather than for Rs. 150.

NOW THE PATIENTS WILL BE AT THE MERCEY OF ORGANISED BAND OF THUGS IN THE FORM OF PHARMASIST AND MEDICAL STORE OWNERS. ACTUAL CULPRIT IS DRAP ITSELF, WHICH ISSUES LICENCES TO PHARMACUTICALS COMPANIES TO MARKET A PARTICULAR SALT WITH MUCH PRICE VARIATION.

Man this country is so fucked up, har jaka baimani, 2 numbri, munfakhori, jo jitna mulk ko chod saktha hai chod raha hai. You couldn't pay me enough to rule it. Salam hai Imran Khan ki himmat ko jo is ko theek kernay nikla hai and that too voluntarily.

And in the same breath my blood boils for the harami kunjars that turned it into such a fucked country.

I guess all we can do now is support Khan in this. There is no other option.
