Regulate price and quality of masks and sanitisers: Medical device industry

With most of the world engulfed in the coronavirus crisis, not only have prices of medical masks and hand sanitizers shot up, but the domestic market is now flooded with substandard and lowquality products as an unscrupulous few try to make a fast buck. This has prompted the medical devices industry to seek government help on two counts — in capping prices and ensuring quality.
