Chandigarh
Chemists’ Association has assured full-fledged support to the
nationwide strike of the All-India Organisation of Chemists and
Druggists Association to be held on May 30 .Major issues are online sale
of medicines, E portal , D Pharma must for wholesale chemist, renewal
of License.President
of Chemists’ Association, Vijay Anand said all 600 medical stores of
Chandigarh shall be kept closed in support of the strike call. “We are
entirely against the online sale of medicines which may prove fatal for
the health of patients. The online service, which the government wishes
to provide to patients and consumers, shall not only result in storage
problems, but may also affect the quality of drugs being supplied.
Further, it shall be difficult to ascertain to credibility of the drug
supplied online and the time involved in the supply, especially in case
of life-threatening emergencies.” Also If E Portal is imposed upon us we
will be uploading bills and prescriptions all day rather than selling
medicines, Govt is also in process of making D Pharma mandatory for
Wholesale chemists too which will create further unemployment.General
Secretary of the Chandigarh Chemists’ Association Vinay Jain said,
“The Drug and Cosmetics Act shall receive a severe blow as drugs shall
become everyone’s property without affixing any check on its
authenticity and usability. Easy availability of any and every drug may
tell upon the consumers’ health and lead to drug menace with
habit-forming drugs flooding the entire country and every one is finding
its easy availability at their doorstep.” We will assemble at Sector 15
market Parking on May 30 in favour of our demands
