She still didn't quite answer why this medicine is so expensive. We get that about one third of the cost is govt duties, and that the govt can waive on appeal. But why the extremely exorbitant price in the first place? 10 crores is more than an average researcher at the pharma companies makes in their lifetime, and obviously 1 case in 10k babies still makes it needed for 10k babies each year, so it's obviously has enough demand for mass production. It's probably just monopoly of some giant pharma corporation.

I'm not exactly sure..but I think this medicine is slightly radioactive. Anything radioactive requires expensive machinary to manufacture. Also this medicine has very short half-life so it cannot be mass produced. Also this disease is rare so only few doses will ever be made. Hence the entire cost of production has to be realised from these few doses.

It's actually a gene therapy. A type of virus is injected which then dies after it has delivered a part of the neuron which will continue to make the protein for lifetime. That particular protein are essential for muscle movement. The cost of making such a gene is super high making the drug that expensive.

Patients needing this medicine should receive help from the government. This imo falls under human right to live. Instead of blowing up money on crappy statues help the 70% population of this country that falls under low income group. Can't imagine the plight of the parents who have to see their child go through this
In kerala the same disease affcted baby 2day we all kerala people gathered and donate 18 crore,,,,,, proud of all,, being a keralian,,,,
For this kind of emergency govt should avoid gst ....and they need to take the responsibility of the import of the medicine to the child and other necessary.....how they can took 6 crore without any humanity 😠

An average Indian family earning approximately 30,000 a month will take approx 160000000 ÷ 30000= 5333 months, which is approximately 5333÷12 years = 444 years. Just think about this for a minute and contemplate how expensive this medicine is.
Very good news .Confident that she will be cured .
How is Teera now? Hope she is doing good by God's grace.

May Allah heal her, Ameen 😢😢 that injection alone costs 10 crores but due to extremely heavy import duty it gets additional 6 crores nd costs 16 crores 😡😡 they should atleast decrease the import duty on this injection which saves many lives nd not doing so only makes treatment nd more difficult nd impossible to afford 😡😡

Only beautiful face will get help their are so many helpless babies are dying because of they can't afford treatment (in thousands) our indian medical budget is in lakhs of crores and they send valuable equipment and medicine to govt hospital but they can't treat they refer to private hospitals they are looting.. imagine instead of building 3600cr stuate they can build 36 international level hospitals with avg 100cr each hospital in every state we have best doctors. If I wrg please forgive 🙏
