Questions regarding medication-related issues raised by legislators in the Indian parliament, 2017–2024
Our study revealed an active dialog between legislators and the health ministry to address the population's medication needs. The findings demonstrate that legislators are responsive to the changing disease patterns and challenges in treatment delivery. While our study examined medication-related questions in general, future research can focus on questions about specific drug groups or health issues to better understand the legislative influence on healthcare.
