Government preparing to purchase iron pills that cost 40 paisa at inflated price of 90 paisa

KATHMANDU, Jan 23: The state treasury will likely incur an additional financial burden of Rs 110 million if the plan of the Ministry of Health to purchase iron pills used by women during pregnancy materializes. Iron pills, which are priced at 40 to 50 paisa in the market, are being purchased at an inflated price of 90 paisa by the government, raising the prospects of an additional financial burden of Rs 110 million to the state coffers.
