Crisis-torn Argentina has launched an emergency plan to manufacture 20
essential medicines in the wake of the country’s economic collapse. “Together
with the Argentine military and the health ministry, we will produce specific

Eduardo Duhalde said in a radio address to the nation last weekend. The plan is
designed to tackle mounting drug shortages and what Duhalde called “abusive
increases of drug prices”.
