Regulating Online Pharmacies




Of all the products being sold online, one that deserves stringent “ Regulation “ , is medicines


Because it concerns , getting well from illnesses, as fast as possible and at least cost



Hence the following good news :
      


==========================

Rules proposed by Health Ministry :

#   Only Govt Registered portals can sell medicines

#   Portals must retain prescriptions

#   They should verify details of doctors and patients


=========================

There are some 50 Startups that sell medicine online, in India

Government’s Draft Policy Proposal received an overwhelming support from 7,000 + individuals / organizations

============================




4 YEARS ago , I sent following proposal to all concerned :


3 D - Digital Delivery of Drugs ?  [  11  Oct  2015  ]



Highlights of my proposal :


* Govt to upload a Mobile App ( DISPENSER ? ) on Health Ministry web site


* All doctors must download it , after proper registration / authentication


* App will get embedded with full details of that doctor who uses it


* Doctors to enter Patient Data in App / then enter prescribed Drug Details


* Doctor will SMS app data entered , to concerned patient's mobile


* Patient will SMS entered app data to mobile of Chemist of his choice


* Chemist will deliver the medicine to the patient with Bill Details in App



 Every action / transaction on App , will get automatically emailed to web
 Servers of

       #   Health Ministry

       #   All India Medical Association

       #   All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists ( AIOCD )

       #   Drug Controller General of India



Advantages :


*   Jobs / businesses, of Chemists / Druggists saved

*   Great convenience for patients / no need to visit Drug Store

*   No chance of Chemist " mis-interpreting " doctor's handwriting !

*   Full History of

     #  Each Patient ( great benefit to Prescribing doctors )

     #  Each Drug    ( great benefit to Pharma Companies  )

     #  Each Chemist Shop  ( great benefit to Govt / AIOCD / Tax Dept )

     #  Each Doctor  ( great interest to All India Medical Association )

==================================================


Dear Dr Harsh Vardhanji,


Considering that your Draft Proposal has been endorsed by almost everyone, I urge you , not to miss this “ Opportunity of a Life time “, to launch proposed Mobile App [ DISPENSER ]



This App will enable the Central Government, not only to closely “ monitor “ the implementation of Ayushman Bharat Scheme, but enable millions of doctors to access a Govt Portal for the best “ line of treatment “ for each and every citizen, for each and every disease, based on predictive analysis, using AI
