Can a GP store in his clinic the drugs needed for the purpose of dispensing to his own patients? QUESTION—I have my own practice in the form of a single doctor clinic. Can I start a small pharmacy/ drug store inside my clinic to sell/ dispense medicines I prescribe? Do I need a drug license for the same? ANSWER— 1—In terms of MCI Regulations, 2002 and the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, you are allowed to dispense medicines to your own patients and to store necessary medicines for that purpose in reasonable quantity. You do not need a licence for the same. 2—Please note that the words used by you are tricky and you should avoid using them. A wrong word or term used can invite unnecessary trouble. You should never talk about “starting a pharmacy/ drug store to sell/ dispense medicines”. Medicines kept by a general physician for his own use (for dispensing to his patients) do not constitute a pharmacy or drug store. When you dispense medicine to your patients, you don’t sell

After receiving the vetted draft bill from the law ministry last month, the bill was sent to the Cabinet early this month. “After the proposed bill is cleared by the Cabinet, it will be introduced during this session,” a senior official in the health ministry said. The NCHRH Bill aims at creating a super medical authority by scrapping all other regulatory bodies. Once passed, all independent bodies like Medical Council of India (MCI), Dental Council of India (DCI), Pharmacy Council of India and Nursing Council of India will come under the over arching council. With an aim to help facilitate foreign National doctors practice in India — a new clause — has been put in the bill. As of now these doctors could come to teach or research on charitable basis only to I

IM’A’PPA APPA’s success is IMA’s victory! ·         Inception of “Hospital board of India ” at national level to safe guard the interests of private medicare. If any new medical graduate wants to start private practice, he has to comply with 200 acts & regulations at local,state and national level. The authorities thinking that all private doctors are bandicoots. The common man feels that he has been thoroughly exploited by private doctors. The media provokes ill feelings towards private health care system. Almost all doctors are in pathetic situation and gloomed in the oblivion of insecurity. Economical insecurity, emotional insecurity and professional insecurity… what could be done to provide peaceful ambience to the medical fraternity? Then comes the visionary of Indian medical association under the agile & shrewd leadership of DR.N.APPA RAO. He envisioned and structured the socio-political trade arm   of IMA at national, state and branch level to negotiate and fight agai
