Who is Sangwan, man behind 85% cut in coronary stent price?
Advocate Birender Sangwan, who saw a friend's family being overcharged for coronary stents, had filed a petition in 2014 seeking price regulation and price cap on the life-saving device. "Because stent prices weren't regulated... hospitals had a free hand in fixing rates," Sangwan had said. His efforts led to India's drug pricing watchdog cutting stent prices by 85% to ₹30,000.
