Even if a trial in a wealthy country benefited stomach cancer patients, extending their progression-free survival by weeks, it doesn't justify subjecting poor patients with limited healthcare access to these therapies, potentially impoverishing their families. #Pembrolizumab

Agreed, modern therapy often falls short in incurable diseases. However, offering futile or even toxic alternatives isn't the answer. Let's spare these patients from financial toxicity and provide compassionate palliative care instead.

Saw an 80-year-old villager today, unable to read, burdened with a prescription of 13 medications. Trimmed it down to just 4.
Less is often more, especially in old age.

Meropenem API price slashed by 40% to ₹45,000/kg from ₹75,000.

Four years ago, we showed that the 'clinical trial' for a supposed Covid panacea lacked scientific basis. The drug provided no relief, leading communities astray during a time of panic.

Promise the moon. And when asked to face the music, simply apologize. Glad that the supreme court didn't accept what it perceived was merely a 'lip service'.
Patanjali Ayurved

#ElectoralBonds

Metachromatic leukodystrophy, a genetic brain disease, affects 1 in 100,000 births.
A new gene therapy for it would cost $4.25 million. The world's most expensive drug.
How can Big Pharma justify this price?

SBI confirms billions spent by the wealthy on electoral bonds. Imagine if these funds supported schools and hospitals instead. But in today's world, does pure charity still exist?
