New Delhi, Feb 18 (IANS) The Delhi government Wednesday asked the 10 laboratories authorised to carry out swine flu tests to halve their prices from Rs.9,000 to Rs.4,500, officials said.
The decision was taken after a meeting between officials of the directorate of health services (DHS) and the seven private and three government laboratories.
