"I have an elderly relative who was a prostate cancer patient and is now undergoing regular medical examinations at the National University Hospital. He has been prescribed bicalutamide, which costs almost $1,200 for 90 tablets. When I searched the Internet, I was shocked to discover that many accredited online pharmacies sell generic versions of this drug for as little as US$127 ( SGD$160) for 100 tablets. is it not the hospital's duty to source the cheapest medicine for its patients, especially an elderly retiree with no income?
