Trinidad and Tobago’s pharmaceutical sector is being controlled by a handful of dominant companies that exert overwhelming influence over pricing, distribution and access to medication.

This is according to president of the Private Pharmacy Retail Business Association (PPRBA), Glenwayne Suchit.

Suchit was speaking during a Public Administration and Appropriations Committee (PAAC) hearing at the Red House yesterday, chaired by House Speaker Jagdeo Singh.
