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.

Extremely disappointed with the service from Amazon Now / Amazon. One of the products from my order was not delivered, and when I raised a complaint, I was told the resolution will take 3 days.

This is a daily-use essential product and such issues should be resolved immediately, not after several days. Customers trust Amazon for reliability and quick support, but this experience has been very frustrating.

Kindly resolve this issue urgently and ensure better quality checks before dispatching orders.

Despite earlier complaints, construction work at Transcon UNO – Off BKC 605, CST Road, Opp. Raheja Center Point continues beyond the permitted timing, even late at night.

This is causing severe noise pollution and dust pollution, disturbing residents and senior citizens in the neighborhood.

We request immediate action and strict enforcement of government regulations.

@MTPHereToHelp @MumbaiPolice Illegal parking is creating chaos for pedestrians at this spot. Footpaths are blocked, people are forced to walk on the road, and it’s becoming a serious safety risk. Please take strict action against illegal parking.
