Bangladesh updates drug list, caps prices for 1,300 medicines to improve access.
Bangladesh’s interim government has updated its National Essential Drug List to include 295 medicines, with new pricing guidelines ensuring affordability through government-set caps.
The reforms, approved by the Council of Advisers chaired by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, aim to improve access to critical medications, with a four-year phase-in period for manufacturers.
The changes follow over 14 months of consultations and mark a major shift from the outdated 1994 system, expanding price controls to nearly 1,300 medicines.
The policy is expected to enhance public health outcomes amid high out-of-pocket health spending.
