Lowest price increase in decade could see several Pharma companies exit market
By Staff Writer
Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, gazetted a 1.26 percent single exit price (SEP) increase for medicines and scheduled substances in December 2017. This lowest SEP increase in a decade - second only to 2011, which saw no increase at all - comes amid growing utility costs and a depreciating Rand value and could see several players exit the market.
