New Delhi: Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya asked pharma companies to ensure adequate stocks and availability of all drugs, including those for COVID management, in the supply chain up to the retail level amid a rise in COVID-19 cases in some countries.
He reviewed the status, adequacy of Covid-19 management drugs and production capacities with representatives of pharma companies through a virtual conference so that India is equipped to effectively handle any situation, officials said.
According to a statement issued by the health ministry, the minister was briefed regarding the evolving global scenario in the meeting.
Mandaviya appreciated the pharma companies for their invaluable contribution during the pandemic in the country, the statement said.
“India’s pharmaceutical industry is robust, resilient, and responsive.” “It is due to their strength that we could not only meet our low demand during the pandemic, but also be in a position to supply medicines to 150 countries,” he said.
This was achieved without any fall in quality or hike in the price of the medicines, the health minister said.
The pharma companies were asked to keep a close watch on the global supply chain scenario, the health ministry statement said.
They were also asked to closely monitor production and availability of APIs as well as formulations of essential medicines for Covid management, it added.
