evidence: The government, which had in 2014 capped the prices of stents and knee implants, is now working on a proposal to formulate a pricing policy for over 6,000 medical devices in the country such as pacemakers, hearing aids, glucometers, and blood pressure instruments. [...] The government regulates only 24 medical devices under drug pricing laws. Of the 24, three medical devices — condoms, cardiac stents, and knee implants — were brought under the price control mechanism by the Modi government. [...] "The policy in no way should undermine or weaken the price controls imposed on stents and knee implants that have proven to be beneficial to the public," she said.
