State Minister for Health Professor Dr. M A Muhit has urged pharmaceutical companies not to raise medicine prices arbitrarily, emphasizing the need to keep essential drugs affordable for the general public. He made the remarks on Monday afternoon at a stakeholder consultation meeting on strengthening the health sector, held at a hotel in Dhaka. The event was jointly organized by the Health Services Division of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the World Bank.
Dr. Muhit stressed the importance of a balanced policy for drug pricing, noting that while pharmaceutical companies need profits, sudden and frequent price increases harm both citizens and the government. He said the new government, formed just two and a half months ago after a long period of public unrest, has inherited a fragile health system marked by poor maintenance, equipment shortages, and medicine scarcity in hospitals.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring basic healthcare and life-saving drugs for all citizens, calling for collective efforts between the public and private sectors to overcome current challenges.
