NMC yet to act on 30 doctors sponsored by pharma giant for foreign trips
Months after the Apex Committee for Pharma Marketing Practices (ACPMP) under the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) reprimanded AbbVie Healthcare India Pvt. Ltd. for violating the Uniform Code for Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices (UCPMP) by sponsoring foreign trips worth Rs 1.91 crore for 30 doctors, the National Medical Commission (NMC) is yet to disclose any action taken against the involved healthcare professionals.
The development comes in response to a recent Right to Information (RTI) request filed by Dr Babu K.V., which sought the list of 30 doctors and details of disciplinary measures initiated under the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002.
