Crops leading to scarcity of medicines. Finally forced to import from India

Lack of life-saving medications leaves patients in confused condition, Crop. The fury of the people increased against the government

Islamabad, Ta. September 3, 2019, Tuesday

After Article 370 was abolished by Pakistan, business dealings with India broke down. However, this step is hurting Pakistan itself. Earlier, when the inflation was put on hold, there are now reports that there is a shortage of medicines in Pakistan and people are opting for drugs.

The drug industry that is currently in Pakistan is in the gut. When Pakistan ended its trade with India, the pharmaceutical companies stopped taking medicines from India.

India produces more drugs and exports to countries like the US. Amidst this situation, Pakistan is also getting the cheapest medicine from India. However, with the urge to keep up its shortfall, Pakistan has started hitting the well on its own feet and now it has begun to thrive for the necessities of life like medicine.

Pakistan has now realized its flaws and has begun to beg for help from India. Pakistan has to allow its country's pharmaceutical companies to order medicine from India.

Imran Khan's government has taken a break on business relations, and now drug companies have to be excluded. Patients are suffering because of shortage of drugs in Pakistan and its impact on the whole country.

People's anger is growing on Imran Khan's government. In such a situation, the Pakistani government has to bow down and allow pharmaceutical companies to buy medicine from India. An order was also issued by the Government of Pakistan for this.

By July 2019, Pakistan had demanded Rs 36 billion from Indian pharmaceutical companies. On August 5, when India abolished Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan made a break on trade relations, which is now falling into place.
