Dear E-Druggers,
We are conducting a study on the impact of "Price Control mechanism" on availability of medicines at reasonable price. We would be extremely happy if you please let us know-

  1.. Is there any mechanism for price control in your country?
  2.. If so which mechanism? Any law?
  3.. Do you feel it is effective for availability of medicines at affordable prices?
  4.. If so how do you rate this mechanism (1-5 scale)?

With best regards,
