The report also said that NITI Aayog, in partnership with CSEP Research foundation has attempted to examine the experiences of various countries that have adopted strategies for achieving Universal Health Coverage to gather valuable insights and policy suggestions for India. Realising the unavailability of indigenous treatments and exorbitant prices of drugs imported for rare diseases, NITI Aayog undertook an effort to improve the accessibility and affordability of drugs for rare disease patients in India through fast-tracking indigenously manufactured dosage forms for selected rare diseases.
