Affordability of medicines in India (2)
************************************

I agree with Mr. Joseph that affordability is a huge problem in India.
People working in unorganized sector have to pay at least half a
day?s salary for the treatment of certain acute conditions. The
problem of purchasing medicine becomes more if the earning member
falls sick or more than one member of the family is sick.
