Dhaka – The Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA) will cut the prices of coronary stents used in heart treatment, with reductions of Tk 10,000 to Tk 50,000 depending on the model. DGDA director Dr. Md. Akhtar Hossain said the new prices for products from 33 companies will take effect in August or September. The move follows Sunday’s government order lowering prices for 10 types of stents from three companies. Importers say a pricing policy is needed but will comply with the directive.
