As we battle the spread of COVID-19, Ghanaian based Pharmaceutical services company, mPharma is looking to address what it says is a potential drug supply shortage and price increases due to ongoing disruptions in the drug supply chains globally caused by the outbreak of Coronavirus.

The organization is today launching a price control program for chronic patients dubbed "Mutti Keep My Price"

India has imposed export restrictions on 26 essential drugs according to ‘The Guardian’.

In Ghana, there are growing concerns about the possible shortage of medicines and the high price increase in some essential medical supplies such as the high cost of Hand Sanitizers.

Speaking to the media, a spokesperson for the organization said, “The Mutti Keep My Price program for patients on chronic medications will help patients choose between a 3 month or 6-month price control plan. The price of their covered medication will not change irrespective of what happens in the market during the duration of the plan”.

Mutti Keep My Price is free to enroll in. Call the Mutti helpline at 055 813 4375 or 024 841 0050 to learn more about the service and how you can enroll.
