EDITORS EMULSION 17th Jun 2018

Greetings!

A recent survey’s results underlined the fact that there is a need to make educated people aware about antibiotic usage, their disposal and dangers of irrational use. In PSM India capsules, we bring to light the dangers educated people are still oblivious of.

While the Maharashtra government was in the process of formulating a stringent law on the lines of the Centre's Clinical Establishments Act, to regulate private nursing homes and hospitals in the state; other state governments are working on the empanelment of hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Mission (AB-NHPM). Read more such policy and laws implemented under Drug laws n policy injections.

Our Pharma injections’ section in this issue deals with the Pharma industry adopting global quality standards, Abbott training 60 Gujarat Drug inspectors to implement new MD rules, a test that could help 30% of breastfeeding cancer patients in India avoiding Chemotherapy, and more such informative happenings in the health sector.

Seizure of fake drugs constantly takes place around the country displaying the earnest efforts of our drug inspectors in addressing the issue of spurious medicines in the market. Read all about it in Drug Dopes as drug raids take place in Zirakpur, Mohali, Amritsar and Srinagar. As the National Injections section covers the latest new website on a 24x7 food and drug alert by Maharashtra FDA, the Global Injections section focuses on a path braking news of the first home made anti HIV drug being approved.

This issue features a contribution by Jordan Mayer from U.S.A. on how ‘Certain Antibiotics Increase Kidney Stone Risk’.
