4571 Janaushadhi Kendras Opened Across The Country: Govt

Number of steps taken to promote use of domestically manufactured drugs and medicines

The Government has taken number of steps to promote the use of domestically manufactured drugs and medicines. National Pharmaceuticals Pricing Policy, 2012 (NPPP-2012) was notified with the objective to put in place a regulatory framework for pricing of drugs so as to ensure availability of required medicines – “essential medicines” at reasonable prices even while providing sufficient opportunity for innovation and competition to support the growth of pharma industry thereby meeting the goals of employment and shared economic well-being for all.

In order to promote and to make available quality generic medicines at affordable prices to all through specific outlets, a scheme in the name of ‘Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana’ (PMBJP) is functioning across the country.

In order to promote domestically manufactured drugs, the Government is providing financial support for research and development through Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Research Programme (DPRP) run by the Department of Science & Technology. The companies undertaking Research & Development activities are provided income tax benefits.

The Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013, Para-32 (iii) provides exemptions from price control to a manufacturer producing a new drug involving a new delivery system developed through indigenous Research and Development for a period of five years from the date of its market approval in India.

The government vide its notification dated 28th January, 2016 has withdrawn exemption of customs duty on certain categories on Bulk Drugs/APIs to provide level playing field to the domestic manufacturers.

In order to make generic medicines more accessible, the Department of Pharmaceuticals has requested all the States/Union Territories to explore and enforce the proposal of keeping a separate shelf/rack for generic medicines in every pharmacy in the country.

Further, Government is successfully operating a scheme in the name of ‘Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana’ (PMBJP) for providing quality, unbranded generic medicines at affordable prices in the country. Under this Scheme dedicated outlets known as Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendra (PMBJK) are opened to provide generic medicines. As on 13 December 2018, about 4571 PMBJKs have been opened across the country. Under PMBJP Scheme a target has been set to open at least one PMBJP Kendra in every district of the country.

Government Sells Nearly Rs 4.50 Crore Low-cost Glucometers In Over 5 Months.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • India has 7 crore people suffering from diabetes
  • Affordable glucometers and strips were launched by the government in May 2018
  • These glucometers cost Rs 480 per device and box of strips is for Rs 225

With nearly 7 core people in India suffering from diabetes, monitoring and control of the disease becomes integral. In order to make diabetes regulation affordable, the government had launched digital glucometer in May 2018 at lower costs.

Since May 2018, the government has sold over Rs 4.45 crore glucometers and strips so far.

According to the RTI reply by the government, the digital glucometers were launched by Bureau of Pharma Public Sector Undertakings of India (BPPI) in May 2018. The glucometer and a box of strips are being sold at low cost exclusively through Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendra (PMBJK) Rs 480 and Rs 225 respectively.

The government also said that around Rs 4.45 crore glucometers have been sold since its launch while more than 3 crore boxes of strips have been sold. One box contains 25 strips.

Glucometer and strips are used to measure the sugar levels in the blood.

The prices of government made glucometers and strips are much lower than the market prices of these products. A box of 25 strips would usually cost more than Rs 500 in the market while a branded glucometer would sell for nearly Rs 1,000.

As these devices are only available at government-run Janaushadhi Kendra, most diabetes patients are beyond the reach of these low cost products.
