The whitepaper is the outcome of a roundtable meeting held on 24 January 2011 on Health Insurance at India Islamic Cultural Centre, Delhi. The conference was attended by various healthcare and health insurance industry leaders as well as policymakers who emphasized the need to bring in new health insurance schemes at different price points."I was disappointed that the Report did not talk about how health insurance companies can promote health by prescribing Information Therapy ! It makes business sense for health insurance to empower patients with information...

It’s the most recent in a series of public protests held in Asia, Europe and Africa against the proposed trade deal which could stop Indian generic companies from providing affordable generic medicines for people across the developing world. MSF is currently running a public campaign to tell the EU to back down on the deal.

Buck and I were visiting India, and I think tourists are not allowed to leave the country without visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal. Earlier, we had seen New Delhi and traveled north on the Jammu Mail (a bit like a real life version of The Darjeeling Express) to Dharamsala and the Dalai Lama’s home. I was overwhelmed by the vastness of India: here we are in this picture, nearly beaten to the ground from the intense heat that is common in Agra in the summer. A few days earlier, I was cold and gasping for breath in Dharamsala and the Himalayan foothills. In that town, your a... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4309817 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:13:31 +0100 4309817 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4045390&cid=t_171351_150_f&fid=35777&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FPharmalot%2F%7E3%2FVlI5FAUruKA%2F The ongoing trade talks between India and the European Union are inflaming passions among some consumer activists, who worry a Free Trade Agreement will limit access to medicines. And so a protest was held in front of the Indian Commerce Ministry in New Delhi in which an effigy of the minister was burnt. And then the police start swinging batons at the members of Delhi Network of Positive People, who are agitating on behalf of people with HIV and AIDS. Activists say the trade talks include proposals that could delay or restrict Indian generic drug makers by extending patent terms for brand-name meds, requiring data exclusivity and imposing tighter rules on enforcing borders. A recent report in the Journal of the International AIDS Society suggests prices could rise and access delayed to im...

Please forgive us if one or more of these items seems familiar, but we wanted to make sure that these worthy items didn’t escape your attention. And now, of course, let us turn our sights to the matters at hand… Did Johnson & Johnson try a preemptive strike? Stung by months of criticism over its handling of quality control problems at its McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit, J&J ceo Bill Weldon made a rare public statement to The Wall Street Journal that chief quality officers and manufacturing managers will report to Ajit Shetty, a J&J veteran who will now oversee operations for the pharma, device and consumer units. ...

And most of the UK patients had recently traveled to…India. So what does the Indian government think of this finding? Government officials are outraged for a few reasons. They resent that the bug - New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 - is named after their city. They complain that the study is dripping with conflicts of interest. And they worry about the impact on tourism. For instance, the study in The Lancet was funded by the European Union, as well as Wyeth and the Wellcome Trust charity, both...

At an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting in Delhi, people will tell you that they have been “sober” for six months, or six years and even 16 years but it would take is just one drink to set them back on a path to disaster. Alcoholics Anonymous gives the courage and willpower not to drink again, they say. “One alcoholic talking to another—that’s what works. That’s what happened in 1935 when our two co-founders met. When one alcoholic talks to another, he stays sober. The guy who’s ripe and ready will come and stay with AA,” says one member. There are around 2 million AA members worldwide but the numbers in India are shockingly low. ...

Here’s CNN: The president of the U.N. General Assembly scheduled a noon session Monday to discuss the situation in Honduras, following a military-led coup that ousted the sitting president. and Micheletti, the head of Congress, became president after lawmakers voted by a show of hands to strip Zelaya of his powers, with a resolution stating that Zelaya “provoked confrontations and divisions” within the country. …. The coup came on the same day that he had vowed to follow through with a nonbinding referendum that the Honduran Supreme Court had ruled illegal. Imagine that George Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan or some other American president had decided to overturn the Constitution so that he could st...
