Abstract
The health ministry yesterday said the planned 12% levy on the importation of essential medicines such as dewormer albendazole and malaria drug artemether, which are also locally manufactured, would go into effect on August 1.
The move to tax importation of essential medicines is aimed at boosting domestic drug makers, as per the BUBU policy.
