These firms hold significant sway over pricing, distribution, and access to medication, according to Glenwayne Suchit, the president of the Private Pharmacy Retail Business Association (PPRBA). Suchit’s comments came during a Public Administration and Appropriations Committee (PAAC) hearing, chaired by House Speaker Jagdeo Singh. This situation reveals an alarming ‘drug monopoly’ in the country’s healthcare sector.
