Insulin price drops to ₹73 after KMSSCL negotiates directly with manufacturers

Kerala Medical Services Corporation (KMSSCL) has reduced the price of 10 ml insulin from ₹99.60 to ₹73 by negotiating directly with companies for medicine procurement. This move, following the Health Minister's directive to bypass agents, allows the government to save ₹18.50 crore by purchasing insulin for four months alone. The agreement was reached after KMSSCL officials negotiated with the current insulin supplier, securing a new price based on timely payment.
