India-Brazil-South Africa to cooperate in health sector
by Ed RobertsIndia, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) have agreed to collaborate on wide range of health related issues. The health ministers of three countries have started another round of cooperation.
Indian Health & Family Welfare Minister, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss sought the support of India’s proposal for observing 2nd October every year as ‘World No Alcohol Day’. Dr. Ramadoss also called for an institution of a framework convention on Alcohol Control on the lines of framework convention on Tobacco Control.
The issue of definition of counterfeit medical products was highlighted by India. Dr. Ramadoss urged for a United IBSA Forum “to engage in order to achieve clarity on any new definition of counterfeit drugs that is sought to be introduced”.
Dr. Ramadoss said, our understanding is that such drugs which are recognized as generics in some counties cannot be considered to be counterfeit, even in those countries where they may not have market authorization. And certainly, the transshipment of such drugs cannot be controlled.
He further said that in addition to the selected areas of traditional medicine, registration of drugs and medicine strengthening public health laboratories, research and development cooperation can be initiated between ICMR (India), MRC (South Africa) and FIOCRUZ (Brazil) under the aegis of global strategy and plan of action on public health innovations and intellectual property.
