Pervez Khattak, K-P Chief Minister announced on Tuesday that pharmaceutical companies will be allowed to deliver free medicines for the treatment of four extremely harmful medical conditions across the province.
Fifteen medicines from pharmaceutical firm Novatris Pakistan have been approved by the provincial government, mainly for curing cardiovascular diseases, type-2 diabetes, respiratory problems and breast cancer. The government will bear the costs of dispensing and procuring them.
The medicines were chosen in accordance with the following three conditions:
- Medical relevance
- High demand
- Lack of access
The summary sent by the provincial government’s healthcare department indicated that their aim was to provide a variety of fruitful treatment options for proven and first-line treatments.
A meeting was scheduled with the medical professionals and practitioners at the health department where they gave the go-ahead for the decision to purchase the selected medicines.
As the delivery of the medicines was free, the participants were told that the government will be responsible for organizing dispensation centers for the task. Furthermore, the KPK government will also utilize customized software to help keep track of the medicines being dispatched all over the province.
Earlier in July there have been some amendments to Drug Rules. The amendments were accepted by KP Pharmacists community. According to Ihsan Ullah, this step was taken in the best interest of people and patients, adding that he also said that it should not be reconsidered.

NOT Good step , pharmaceutical companies are money suckers , once they get GOV contracts , they will degrade medicine Quality and instead of curing you will be middle stage nor you will be ever healthy again nor you will die directly , call it slow poisons , this will allow pharmaceutical companies to earn earn earn …. its basic login why would these pharmaceutical companies provide cure , if they provide 100% cure they will be out of business … its not just about pharmaceutical companies of Pakistan its globally specially in UK USA this cat and mouse is on peak
people like you can find a conspiracy in anything.
the world will be better place if people starting using brains instead of obey to everything they are feed with by their TV boxes , governments .
then by your logic, we shouldnt use medicines at all.. because “why would these pharmaceutical companies provide cure”.. Go back to hakeems you mean.
first of all pharmaceutical companies are not providing you 100% nor they will provide you ever for the special disease which are listed above , have you ever seen patient with above disease fully recovered ever , such patients life span ends but they never stop medicines because they life become dependent on those medicines as i already said not 100% cure , you become their customer they give you a dose which keep you alive but no full cure, because your recovery mean threat to their business , the medicines majority use are basic medicines for basic disease if you use medicine or not it does not matter your body will recover so it low level they give medicine which can cure your disease , but that’s not the case for the long term disease …… and gov contract mean free hand ! ever wondered why kids vaccination it peak nowadays in almost every country ? because its gov contracts , they are doing their business with titles like polio , they have brainwashed people so much that people think if they not vaccinate their new born babies they are going to paralyzed , strange mind people have trust humans more than GOD , new born baby get birth and they have polio in mind , looks like labeling GOD creation faulty it birth :D ……….. anyway your choice use brain or be a sheep with typical thinking why everyone is doing that than , majority is not Authority..
