WHY THE HEALTH MINISTER IMPORTED TAMIFLU FROM GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL ROCHE, WHEN CIPLA (INDIA) HAS BEEN EXPORTING THE DRUGS TO LATIN AMERICA, AFRICA & MIDDLE EAST? IS IT A SCAM TO MAKE MORE MONEY BY IGNORING INDIAN COMPANIES??? (1st Sept 2009)
When the Swine Flu engulfed the nation, very few knew about its medication and what is more surprising is that even the government of India and the Health Minister were quick to import the drugs (Tamiflu) with sheer panic syndrome… Were the government and health ministry so naïve about the situation so as to immediately ask Global Pharmeceutical Roche to export the drugs??? While Indian Pharmaceutical Company CIPLA has been producing and exporting Antiflu (Oseltamivir) and Virenza (Zanamivir) worth crores to governments in Latin America, Africa and Middle East since last couple of years…
Cipla Charirman Dr. Yusuf Hamied, who recently was seen speaking at the annual general meeting for Cipla last week, did say that it would be better for the government to answer as to why Indian manufacturing companies were not allowed to distribute locally, while the government spend crores to import the drugs and created unnecessary panic among the citizen all over the nation??? Health Minister should answer as to why they created panic when everything was available in our own country??? Even at the hour of people dying with the flu, the ministry created panic, shortage and unavailability of the required drugs for its own gain… Swiss Bank zindabad… money will be safe there… Mr. Azad please explain as to why the ministry took such an action???
If Dr. Hameid is to believed, they were ready to produce more than a million units, if the local authority had given them a signal… but it never happened… He also said that the government created panic by rationing the drug, instead of making it available and accessible to reduce the panic… he gave great example by saying that while Morphine and Codeine are being sold on doctors’ prescription, why an anti-viral medication were made inaccessible??? There is definitely something fishy about this whole drama of importing Tamiflu…
The man has been traveling all these months to UK and India (to & fro) and revealed that the scenario of the pandemic is just the opposite even though the numbers of death have been greater in UK… there is a level of comfort because the pharmacist, the doctors and hospitals have the drugs at their disposal to treat a flu patient… the question is then - Why in India, the government seems to have created a PANIC by revealing they don’t have the drugs and are importing while many citizen succumbed to the flu??? CIPLA is a renowned pharmaceutical company in the world scenario with as many as 30 manufacturing units in the country and as many as 7000 valid product registration in 180 countries…
* WHY DID THE HEALTH MINSTRY CREATED A PANIC WHEN THE DRUGS WERE VERY MUCH BEING PRODUCED AND EXPORTED TO OTHER COUNTRIES???
* DEATH OF AFFECTED DOESN’T BOTHER THE POLITICIANS, HOW CALLOUS?
* WHY PUBLIC MONEY WAS SPEND ON IMPORTING THE DRUGS, WHEN IN THE COUNTRY WE HAVE MANUFACTURERS?
* WHY Mr. AZAD WAITED FOR THE FLU TO SPREAD WHEN THEY KNEW ABOUT THE FLU TO BE A GLOBAL IMPACT???
* WHY TIME WAS WASTED TO PROCURE THE DRUGS WELL IN TIME AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE???
* A POOR INNOCENT GIRL FROM PUNE DIED BECAUSE OF HEALTH MINISTRY’S NEGLIGENCE AND NO-ACTION PLAN & PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES…
* THE COUNTRY WANTS ANSWER Mr. GHULAM NABI AZAD & PM!!!
(P.S: A very sincere request to the electronic media and all print publications to take up the issue follow up seriously to reveal the scam behind importing the drugs….)
