Egypt’s drug authority is set to remove price listings from medicine packaging starting next month, initially applying to factories integrated into a new pharmaceutical tracking system. Pharmacists and a source within the drug authority confirm the move, citing a unified electronic reference system for drug pricing. However, the "Right to Medicine" advocacy group criticizes the decision, arguing it solely benefits pharmaceutical companies while leaving citizens vulnerable to price fluctuations. The reasoning behind eliminating prices on packaging remains unclear. The new tracking system is intended to provide price transparency electronically, but concerns remain about its accessibility and effectiveness for consumers. This change raises fears of potential price hikes and reduced affordability of essential medications for the public. The implementation will begin with manufacturers incorporated into the new tracking system.
