Mandaviya urges stakeholders to work towards building confidence in Indian drugs quality #IndiaNEWS #National
NEW DELHI, Feb 26:
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya urged all the stakeholders on Sunday to steadfastly work towards building trust and confidence in the quality of Indian drugs, cosmetics and medical devices in domestic and export markets.
It is of critical importance to ensure that the countrys regulatory mechanisms are of impeccable standards that are sustained over time and space, Mandaviya said as he inaugurated a two-day chintan shivir on Drugs: Quality Regulations and Enforcement in Hyderabad.
How can we ensure that the confidence of the consumers of pharmaceuticals manufactured in India is upheld? I urge all the stakeholders to steadfastly work towards making the Indian drugs regulatory system among the best in the world, which could be emulated by other countries, he said.
In his inaugural address, Mandaviya underlined the focus of the deliberative forum, saying, The chintan shivir is a platform for all the stakeholders in the pharma and health sectors to deliberate on pathways for cohesive and synergistic approaches for building robust and resilient regulatory systems.
Various agencies across the Centre and states form important components to ensure that the pharmaceuticals manufactured in the country and consumed by domestic and international consumers are of the highest quality and adhere to the standard global manufacturing protocols, the minister said.
This will ensure that Indias fame as the pharmacy of the world is upheld and the country provides pharma products of the highest quality to the consumers, he added.
The health minister highlighted that it is of critical importance to ensure that the regulatory mechanisms of the country are of impeccable standards, which are sustained over time and space. This is possible when the central ministries and state bodies work in a spirit of cooperative federalism, building on the strengths of one another and working jointly to remove loopholes in the regulatory systems.
He encouraged the participants to share their knowledge and insights from their field-level experience to enrich the discussions over the two days of collaborative brainstorming.
The challenges we face can be collaboratively addressed by pooling our collective experience. The manthan at the end of these two days will provide rich knowledge to build strong, sturdy, resilient and people-friendly mechanisms, Mandaviya said.
The chintan shivir is being organised by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), in collaboration with the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP).
The event brought together all the stakeholders the MoHFW, the DoP, health secretaries and drug controllers from the states and Union territories, industry associations on a common platform.
