Dear Minister for Health,

I would like to draw your attention to the concerning increase in the price of the essential narcotic drug Pethidine. The producers of the Intravenous variant have raised the price from 400 to 1200, and it currently stands at 3500. I urge you to carefully investigate these substantial price fluctuations.

Hon.Kwaku Agyeman Manu, Ghana’s Health Minister

Simply waiving duties without ensuring that pharmaceutical companies have genuinely reduced medicine prices may still burden the consumers.

It is crucial to scrutinize the actions of pharmaceutical companies to safeguard the health of Ghanaians.

Sincerely
Janet Nabla
