We know that a healthy nation is a wealthy nation. The other day, we read about tax increase on drugs and medicines. We know that there is cost-sharing in our hospitals. If we are to realize economic growth, then we need to have a healthy nation. Could he tell us whether it is possible to withdraw taxes levied on drugs and medicine? Is it also possible to withdraw the cost-sharing element in Government hospitals?"}
