NEW DELHI: The government may notify the revised list of essential medicines by March end, even as it may require more deliberations for the new list to come under price capping, sources said.
At a stakeholder consultation meeting held by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on Friday to formulate the revised National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM), the pharmaceutical industry and civil society were asked for their final comments.
While drugmakers requested the government to defer the process to refresh the list of essential medicines to next year citing the Covid-19 crisis, senior government officials said that NLEM will only define essentiality of medicines and ensure the drugs contained in the list are available at primary, secondary and tertiary level.
