EDITORS EMULSION 17th July 2019

Warm Greetings!

Welcome to yet another edition of our newsletter.

July 1st being marked as National Doctors Day, is celebrated to put an emphasis on the role of the doctor in our society and their value in our life and life-threatening situations. PSM India Capsules captures this essence and also throws light on how the Indian government is doing its best for cancer research. It also features an interesting read on why most new medicines are no better than the existing treatment.

Drug laws and Policy Injections includes various Laws and policies implemented by government bodies, FDA and CDSCO on medicines and pharma industries. Read more on the code prohibiting doctors from taking gifts from Pharma companies, Centre curbing exports of anti rabies vaccine and more. Under Pharma news you can read about Abbott launching a laboratory information management system for pharmaceuticals and biotech sectors while Samsung and Apollo Hospitals gear up and launch a Mobile Clinic to fight NCDs and more. We’ve captured news on a pharmacist being arrested for selling banned medicines (expectorants) to kids under our Drug Dopes section.

We constantly endeavour not only to collate important information from the health and medicine world but also to create a connect with consumers all over. We welcome articles and write ups from our readers and are glad to feature them under the section titled Subscriber’s Symptoms. This issue features a contribution by Supriya Agarwal from Uttar Pradesh on how unsweetened fruit juice can up cancer risk.
