India is among 51 countries to sign the “Rome Declaration” on “Achieving Self-sufficiency in Safe Blood and blood products based voluntary non-remunerated donation”. Blood is an intrinsic requirement for health care and proper functioning of the health system. National AIDS Control Organization under Department of Health and Family Welfare has been primarily responsible for ensuring provision of safe blood for the country since 1992. National Blood Policy 2003 reiterates firmly the government’s commitment to provide safe and adequate quantity of blood, blood components and blood products.

However, in India, a needy patient or his relatives have to run from pillar to post in search of blood and the onus of procurement of blood still lies with the patient and not with the service provider.

Suggestions are invited on how to develop a nationally coordinated and well networked blood transfusion service in the country and reach 100% voluntary blood donation to enable us to meet the global goal of self sufficiency in blood and blood products.

d. MRP based VAT. The government should introduce MRP based VAT to discourage inflated pricing of products. This will lead to more VAT collection. e. Similarly Vaccines (Imported or Indigenous) should have price ceiling. Unfair pricing in these products is making life miserable for the parents and patients. f. Surgical consumables & disposables: Starting from needles, syringes, scalp vein sets to orthopedic implants all surgical consumables are having high MRP and exorbitant costs

The patient in most of the cases has to shell out even twice the amount of a branded product available. The retails chemists also do not pay the difference of the VAT to the government. By invoicing based pricing, I mean the Price to the retailer. (The selling price of the distributor/wholeseller)The MRP of branded and non-branded generics is usually 7-8 times the price to the retailer.c. Price Capping: The Govt. should introduce price capping on generics (branded or non-branded).

It’s in India only that generics are being sold with brand names. This leads to, in 90% of the cases that the retail chemists sells them as branded medicines or are promoted through propaganda channels. b. Invoicing based MRP: Introduce invoicing price based MRP on branded and non branded generics. Right now the MRP on branded or non-branded generics is very high and doesn’t offer any relief to the patient. The huge margin is being pocketed by the retail chemists.

The patients are losing their hard earned money and the govt. is losing VAT. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPAI),The Drugs Controller General, the concerned central ministry are silent on this issue, while the Organization of Pharmaceutical Producers of India (OPPI), Indian Drugs Manufacturers Association (IDMA) & AIOCD are reaping harvests day and night. Generic Medicines: a. Ban branded generics: A complete blanket ban on generic branded should be done.

Malpractices in medicine pricing are always being discussed and the issue has been discussed in T.V. shows but always a wrong notion is being discussed that the branded medicines are costlier to the patients and are benefitting the Pharmaceutical industry. Time and again, a cacophony is heard that doctors should prescribe generic medicines. Nobody has ever discussed the pricing of the so called generic drugs and the direct effect of these generics to the patient and the exchequer.

Though the issue is not related to Health directly , but indirectly so many persons are affected due to uneven speak breakers in Roads available in Hyderabad. Due to which lot of 2 wheeler riders are facing problem like back problem and other bone releated problems. Hence we need to make some guidelines how and where the speed breakers has to be put so that the major health issue can be solved.
