The Caretaker Health Minister, Dr. Nadeem Jan, has issued directives to expedite the supply of medications for diabetes and epilepsy to the general public.

According to the Ministry of Health spokesperson, in response to the Health Minister's instructions, the urgent registration process for insulin and heparin medications has been initiated.

Dr. Nadeem Jan is personally overseeing the accelerated processing of registration cases by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) as a top priority. The CEO of DRAP has been tasked with fast-tracking registrations and providing weekly updates to the minister.

The registration of these medications is expected to enhance their availability in the market, particularly benefiting patients with diabetes and epilepsy, stated Dr. Nadeem.

He also mentioned that comprehensive efforts are underway to bolster the pharmaceutical industry's capacity, emphasizing collaboration with the industry and the implementation of a comprehensive strategy.

The DRAP registration board has prioritized the review of over ten applications, approving several of them swiftly.
