The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.

A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.

A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.

These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.

The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.

A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

Everyone in the UPI ecosystem has only benefitted from it. Here's how:

🔸Government: Printed fewer notes and saved cost. NPCI makes a surplus and pays tax.

🔸UPI service providers: They collect data and then sell you loans, travel offers, etc. Gpay/Cred/Paytm

🔸Banks/NBFCs: They make interest on loans that the UPI service providers help them sell.

🔸The income tax and GST department also get more of a trail of where the money is flowing. Formalises the economy and increases tax revenue.

No one is bearing the cost. You are charging us more.

By removing the minimal subsidy, the government is charging us for its inefficiencies.

Babus and netas need to stop doing corruption rather than levying new charges on customers/merchants/investors each day.

TRUMP ON TRUTH SOCIAL

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France. She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!). She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other “so-called” NATO Allies. Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!!! President DJT

BREAKING: Iran Suspends Entire 60-Day Negotiation Process With the U.S.

Iran has halted its entire 60-day negotiation framework with the United States after accusing Washington of violating the very first clause of the recently signed MOU.

According to Fars and Al-Mayadeen, Iranian officials argue Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon less than 24 hours after the agreement was electronically signed constituted a direct breach of U.S. obligations under the deal.

Iran’s delegation was reportedly preparing to depart for Switzerland for the first round of talks when Tehran abruptly canceled the trip. Iranian officials now say they will not fulfill their own commitments until they are fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the U.S. has adhered to the agreement’s first-clause requirements.

The first round of U.S.-Iran talks is now effectively off the table.
