Drug prices in the US are often absurdly high and not super relevent to other Developed countries, let alone low income countries. New Zealand for example buys medications through a different system, usually far far cheaper than the US does.

And its almost an unrelated parralel drug market in places like Uganda compared with the US, with competing Indian companies competing to sell drugs here, its amazing how cheap they are here really. Some examples
1. Amoxicillin 100 tablets 250mg $1.50
2. Doxycline 100 tablets 100mg $2.20
3. Diclofenac gel (Voltaren Gel) $0.50
4. Iv fluids 500ml (all types) $0.50
5. 1 vial of 1g Ceftriaxone (amazing broad spectrum antibiotic (0.25)
I’m not worried prices will go up here because of an odd Trump emergency order.
