Health
Ministry meet explores middle-path between online pharmacies and retail
chemists
( BL / 01 Sept 2023 )
Extract :
India’s
Health Ministry has initiated discussions with e-pharmacies and brick &
mortar retailers and chemists on the way forward.
Discussions held earlier in August saw chemists raise
objections to deep discounting practices of e-pharmacies, while the Health
Ministry officials were concerned about select practices of these e-pharmacies
like allowing sale of medicines without proper prescriptions
and so on.
Maintaining
privacy of user data across these platforms is another repeated concern
that had cropped up during the meeting.
The e-pharmacies were reportedly asked to present their case
too. “ The CDSCO ( Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation) held a
stakeholder meeting earlier this month (August). Viewpoints of chemist shops
and e-pharmacies and Health Ministry concerns were heard, raised, and
discussed.
There is
a middle path that is being looked at, a way
forward where both offline and online can be accommodated with regulations
coming in play,” said an official who was present.
While there are some who want a complete ban on e-pharmacies,
others suggest that US-type regulations come into play, where there are digital prescriptions and these can be universally
accessed, but with strict guidelines surrounding sharing of user
data.
