India faces shortage of vital chemotherapy drugs
India is facing a nationwide shortage of cisplatin and carboplatin, two essential chemotherapy drugs used to treat several cancers. Rising global platinum prices, disruptions to West Asia shipping routes and domestic price caps have made production difficult for manufacturers. The government has temporarily raised ceiling prices by 50% to encourage companies to restart production.
