UAE moves to cut drug costs- how soon will you feel it?

from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

The UAE is breaking single-supplier control on medicines - to cut costs and prevent shortages, so how soon could patients see the benefits? We'll get the reaction from a market consultant and a pharmacy. As sea levels rise and coastal cities face mounting flood risks, the Dutch are building neighbourhoods designed to float rather than sink - so is that something that could work here? Plus, Student entrepreneurs are being given the opportunity to shine once again, as applications are now open for the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards. The competition enables student founders the chance to compete for mentorship, exposure and a share of a 100,000 dollar prize.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
