Share TweetBy Analou De VeraThe Department of Health (DOH) said that the proposal of the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP) to cut the prices of certain medicines will not fully support the department’s campaign to make drug prices more affordable. The average drop in drug prices that the DOH is suggesting is at 56 percent. The health chief said that public consultations are still being conducted with regards to the imposition of the maximum drug retail price. Duque also said that the date of effectivity of the said measure will depend on the decision of President Duterte.
