A call for transparency in medicine pricing
Inquirer.net, Philippines
This should not be the case. There can be a better equitable way out of this. The government must put up a transparent mechanism in medicine pricing to influence the market to respond to the public?s call and moderate their profit-orientation. Though this first action will address the imperfection of the system, it is not enough. The second half of action involves addressing the market failure by developing a proper and responsive competitive pharmaceutical sector capable of undertaking science and technology activities. The Philippine Government has tried to respond to the call for transparency. The Department of Health and PhilHealth have come up with Drug Price Reference Index (DPRI).

Investigators at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine
recently took a close look at the effect of massage on a very specific group
of people who might be most in need of pampering: cancer patients. In a

the researchers found that those who received massage therapy had greater
improvement in pain and mood than patients who were touched in a manner
similar to massage but without the precise motion and pressure a trained

clinically depressed at some point during their illness.
