Nepal's health care system faces significant hurdles, particularly in the realm of medicine pricing. In 2019, the country spent US$ 53 per capita on health, with out-of-pocket expenditures comprising a substantial 56 per cent of total health expenditures, predominantly in the private sector. In this context, the urgency for an equitable and rational medicine pricing policy cannot be overstated.
