Diagnosis and treatment of diseases may soon become less expensive. In a move to bring expensive medical devices such as stents, catheters, orthopaedic implants and heart valves under the price negotiation, the government has asked the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) to collect data on price, supply and availability of medical devices in the country.

It is learnt that the government is in the process of framing guidelines for compulsory price negotiation with companies for their new products
