Common observations Low proactivity for self regulation Weak system of penalties for contempt of regulation No mechanism of incentives for next/good practices Cuts & commission is well accepted trade practice RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 14
15
Interim findings Good Manufacturing Process (GMP): Majority of firms are aware about the GMP but general consensus is low rate of compliance in the different segments. Safe environmental initiative: It is common belief that only bulk drug production units are responsible for environmental pollution. Setups for effluent treatment is not sufficient in the plant or not in working condition. Regulations: low proactivity for self-regulation, weak system of penalties leading to unethical practice. Firms are in favor of strict implementation of regulations with generation of transparency in the system. RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 15
16
Interim findings (cont.) Cuts and commission: well accepted trade and practices Accepted by Pharma firm as a marketing policy & Doctors want solicitation MRs are the instrument for cut practices Discussion about cut practices: no formal sector is willing to discuss about cuts and commission but talking is place in informal settings. RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 16
17
Interim findings (cont.) Bio-medical waste rule, 1998: Practice under BMW management is not followed in true spirit. Inadequate training of hospital staff & improper handling Irregular monitoring from GPCB No interaction between GPCB and private hospital No regulation or formal body that monitor the practice of hygiene/ universal precautions maintenance by hospitals Expressed need for facilitation meetings & training: early dialogue from GPCB is welcomed with aim to improve access to health and safe practices. RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 17
18
Interim findings (cont.) System of BMW service providers is not mature: irregular service, high charge Lack of healthy competition Monopolistic nature There is a need for separate study in service providers Medical code of Ethics,2002: no mechanism in place to ascertain whether in-house or empanelled doctors comply this regulation. There is continuous inherent distress between doctors and administration & other support staff Social capital is fragmented Rational use of drugs: there is sectorial gap between behavior of doctors and rational use of drugs RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 18
19
Social impact of violation of business responsibility 1. Social responsibilities are forgotten in Pharma firms as the budget which would be for CSR is being spent for Marketing 2. Business values are changing, cuts & commission is well accepted trade practice 3. Self regulation is becoming second responsibility for the sector 4. Doctor-patient relationship has lost its spirit, patient has become a costumer for doctor. RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 19
20
Environmental impact of violation of business responsibility 1. Ignoring environmental importance in the name of ‘Pharma is a non polluting industry’ 2. Non availability or inadequate waste treatment and disposal facility, discharge of polluted and hazardous Pharma waste in river or land by small and scattered units. RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 20
21
Economic impact of violation of business responsibility 1. Violation of Business Responsibility is responsible for inflation 2. Patients are paying high cost for medicines - Cost effective health is now dream for poor 3. The prevailing marketing practices in the sector has lost the competition benefits to consumers 4. Schemes for C & FA, Gifts for stockiest, Discount for distributors, commissions for doctors and benefits to chemists, but not any/minimal concession for consumers RDC/ CUTS/ BRCC-Gujarat : 26-6-2012 21
