Domestic medicines face quality lapses, says govt task force
Advertisement
The task force set up by the department of pharmaceuticals (DoP) under the Indian government banner to monitor the domestic pharmaceutical production, has expressed dissatisfaction over lapses in quality of home-made drugs.
The primary work assigned to the task force is to probe the allegations leveled against the manufacturing capabilities in India, and the initial report suggests quality lapses now.
This task force came into being in December 2014, and is headed by DoP secretary VK Subbaraj. It comprises of eight representatives from the ministry of health and family welfare, drug controller general of India, department of commerce, department of industrial policy and promotion, and industry associations.
The quality of manufacturing is also likely to adversely affect the exports as there is an increased scrutiny by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) now. It poses a growing challenge for the India pharmaceutical industry.
