What happens when the water reservoirs are running low? All air conditioners compulsory off? who is responsible then?

This is a good step forward. This protects quality of medicines. Many medicines should be stored below 20 -25c to preserve required quality. But no one cares now.

In Europe and US all the pharmacies mutt be Air-condition , its because to protected the medicine. its a good move. i finally see some progress in the country

I always welcome the minister. This is very good decision. But cost is very high for middle class pharmacist. Please reduce the tax for private health sector & bring the standard price control system for entire private heath service provider. It may reduce the state hospital crowd & can earn the foreign revenue from neighbour countries & Europe. Europe cataract patient are come to India for treatment.

Then the Pharmacy has to increase the profit margin on drugs to pay the additional electricity bill.

Nina Kamal Monday, 05 September 2011 05:20 AM

What? Did I read correct........ A/C for pharmacies.... oh poor pharmacies in the rural areas!!! Is this cos he was given the wrong medic, oh! how I wish more ministers are treated on the wrong side, least this way the country will benefit, as the minorities (low incomes) voices are never heard!

Ahinsaka Leda Monday, 05 September 2011 09:34 AM

There is no price control for drugs. Surely the poor patients will have to burden additional 20% for the cost of their medicine.

A step forward. However who will pay ultimately. The electricity bill of the Pharmacy also will have to pay buy the poor patient.
