Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

What for ?

For taking urgent action on my following suggestion for stopping of Black Marketing of Remdesivir :

An Appeal to DCGI – and others ……………………………….[ 09 July 2020 ]


Rationing of Covid Vaccine ?   ……………………………………[ 08 July 2020 ],

-      Where I suggested :

-      Besides using such exhaustive data for all ( Covid infected or not ) in order for AI software to tell us the “ priorities for vaccination “, what else should the Government do ensure that there is no “ black marketing “ of the limited supplies of the vaccine ?


Answer :


Ø  Today , each strip / bottle of a medicine carries “ batch number “


Ø  For vaccine , each bottle / vial , besides carrying Batch Number , must carry UNIQUE bottle number / vial number . Vaccine Manufacturer will record which bottle got dispatched to which drug store / when. Data will get automatically transmitted to Govt’s Central Server


Ø  Pharmacy Stores to maintain Computerized Record of who ( which person ) was sold a given “ Vial Number “ . This data will get automatically transmitted to Govt’s Central Server


Ø  No vial to be sold to anyone unless a Mobile App ( VaccineVend  ? ) clearly displays that person’s priority  ( as determined by AI ) , as HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW . No person without such Mobile App will be sold the vaccine


Ø  Chemist will enter sale-details in customer / buyer’s Mobile App , which will get automatically transmitted to Govt’s Central Server


What suggests that the Maharashtra Government has acted ?

Today’s news papers carry following report :

Aadhaar details, doctors' prescription now mandatory for buying two COVID-19 drugs in Maharashtra



Extract :

To curb the black marketing of experimental COVID-19 drugs, the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration on Friday made it mandatory for the family members of a positive coronavirus patient to produce

Ø  Aadhaar details,

Ø  doctors’ prescription,

Ø  consent form,

Ø  a COVID positive report, and

Ø  contact details, 



to buy the anti-viral drug Remdesivir and anti-inflammatory medicine tocilizumab.


Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Minister Rajendra Shingne said that the regulatory authority is investigating whether the hospitals are hoarding the experimental drugs after procuring them directly from the manufacturers.

He also said that the decision to make these documents mandatory was taken after complaints of shortage and concerns over the black marketing of these experimental drugs.
  
“These documents will now have to be produced by people buying it from druggists. This will help us track the sale and use of these drugs”, the minister added.

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

Dear ( following ) Policy Makers :


Ø  Shri V G Somani, Drug Controller General of India ( DCGI )
          dci@nic.in  /  se.reddy@nic.in 


Ø  The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization ( CDSCO )


Ø    Smt  Shubhra Singh ,
            Chairperson , The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority of India ( NPPA )
           Chairman.nppa@nic.in


Ø   Dr T P Lahane, Directorate of Medical Education and Research ( DMER )
           dmerps@gmail.com  /  dmercetcell@gmail.com



Through its pro-active action, FDA of Maharashtra has shown its concern for plight of Covid patients . I hope , you will direct FDA of all other States to follow suit.


By exercising the moral responsibility vested in you - I urge you to persuade Dr HarshVardhanji ( Minister for Health and Family Welfare ), to launch the TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM described above

Shri Nachikant Mor  [  ],


Covid must have made many realize that “ our health-care system is broken “

    You deserve Congratulations for turning that “ realization “ into an “ Action Plan “ to fix
    it , in the form of Swasth by adopting following methodology :

  
Ø  By digitizing everything from patient data and records to creating online platforms for hospital care and doctor consultations.


Ø  To devise protocols and mechanisms for testing and treatments for the masses, as part of the National Health Stack


Ø  It’s working with iSpirt, a software think tank, to set health standards and build interoperability across players and segments.


     In the coming weeks, iSpirt is set to release open application interfaces for the Stack
     that’ll allow information exchanges on once-closed areas like billing information for
     insurers or diagnostic lab results.
