Mr.Gowda said
that affordability of medicines and medical devices and implants has been the
subject of discussions between industry and government. He assured industry
that the government will work with it to ensure the accessibility of medicines
to all.
He said that
the government was striving to make processes in the sector as relevant and
simple as possible. He cited the example of single window clearance in the
pharma sector, which he described as a huge step as “We are dealing with
medicines and the nature of the sector demands several checks and scrutiny at
various levels. At present, our focus is on stabilising policies in terms of
pricing and enabling a conducive environment for manufacturing in India”.
Mr. Mansukh L. Mandaviya, Minister of State for Chemicals and
Fertilizers, said that event
will have brainstorming sessions on various aspects of pharmaceuticals and
medical device sectors and hoped that the 2019 edition would help in resolving
the issues impacting the growth of the sectors.
