The government is likely to formally tell the Supreme Court about the need to change the existing drug pricing mechanism. At the previous hearing on the issue last Wednesday, SC had said: “While adjourning the case, we make it clear that the government should not alter the price structure of the drugs as notified vide Notification dated 13.07.1999 and similar notifications which may have been issued thereafter.” The next hearing is on the coming Tuesday.
