Overview

In a move to ensure affordable medical devices in the country, the Union health ministry has announced the inclusion of coronary stents in the National List of Essential Medicines, 2022.

The move is based on the recommendations by an expert committee constituted to review the inclusion of stents in the list based on the requirement.

The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) will now fix the price of coronary stents. On November 6, the Standing National Committee on Medicines (SNCM) had submitted its recommendation for the inclusion of coronary stents in the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM), 2022 in two categories - Bare Metal Stents (BMS) and Drug Eluting Stents (DES) which include metallic DES and bioresorbable vascular scaffold (VBS)/biodegradable stents.
