Government Directs DRAP to Revise Drug Pricing Framework
Most outlets reported that the federal minister for Economic Affairs and Establishment Division, Senator Ahad Cheema, directed the Ministry of National Health Services and DRAP to revise the drug pricing framework. While the phrasing varied slightly, with some using "revising," "review," or "reform," the core directive was consistent. A few outlets, such as 24 News HD and ARY News (English), emphasized the minister’s dissatisfaction with the current pricing formula. The Business Recorder and Associated Press of Pakistan used more neutral language, focusing on the directive itself without explicitly stating dissatisfaction.
