“There are some products which cost Rs 6,000 to the hospital. The Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of the product cost for the patient is Rs 26,000 and when the products are re-used, the hospital is charging Rs 20,000 to second patient,” said an FDA official. RPY Rao, from Society for Awareness of Civil Rights, who alerted the FDA officials about the re-using of catheters, said he has asked MCI and Department of Consumer Affairs to introduce an act or amend existing laws to stop patient exploitation.
