President Bola Tinubu will soon issue an executive order to address the rising cost of drugs and pharmaceutical products in Nigeria, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammed Pate, has said.
“The rising cost of pharmaceuticals is a pressing concern, and we are taking decisive action to address this issue,” he said on Wednesday during a ministerial briefing in Abuja.
The minister added that the executive order, which will soon be issued, will curb escalating drug prices in the short term.
