Branded Generics Vs Generics - A Recipe for Confusion by Dr. Sumit GhosalAnup Soans
The document discusses Prime Minister Modi's recent announcement that doctors will be required to prescribe only generic drugs. It raises several issues with this proposal. First, brands represent quality guarantees for pharmaceutical companies and help patients identify medications more easily. Second, many drugs are identical in formulation but differentiated only by brand. Requiring generic names would remove doctors' discretion and shift responsibility to pharmacists. Third, the government seems to be shirking its responsibility to adequately fund healthcare and increase access to medical services. The proposal is likely to cause immense confusion and fails the test of governance. It may meet the same fate as other ambitious healthcare schemes.
The Drugs Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) was constituted by the Central Government to advise both the Central and State Governments on technical drug-related matters.

3. Secretariat
The Secretariat of the NMFB is based at the Ministry of Public Health and consists of three staff
members: Medicines Affairs Technical Advisor, Food Affairs Technical Advisor and an
Administrative Officer. The Secretariat acts as the interface between the stakeholders, and clients
and the NMFB. It is responsible for processing and preparing meetings and minutes for the Board
and its Committees, facilitating the communication, implementation and reporting of the NMFB
decisions.

9. 4. Summary of the work 2012 – 2013
As the highest decision making body for pharmaceuticals and food, the NMFB’s work is currently
being aligned according to the revised TOR so that the body focuses on policy issues, coordination
of the sector, and resolving problems in the pharmaceutical and food sector.
Operations: The NMFB established two Committees (FC and MC) and approved the TOR &
annual work plans for the two Committees. The NMFB also established a taskforce to review the
TOR for the establishment of a Quality Assurance (sub) Committee for pharmaceutical sector. This
work is still ongoing and will be finalized during the 2013. During previous year the NMFB
established the Law review Technical Working Group for the revision of the Medicine law.
The Secretariat for the Board was established and this included recruitment of staff and establishing
NMFB’s Office at the MoPH. The establishment of the Secretariat with support from the USAID
Strengthening Pharmaceutical Systems (SPS) project improved the operations and functions of the
Board and the ability to follow up on NMFB’s decisions. It is also envisaged that the establishment
of the Secretariat will enable the NMFB to coordinate the pharmaceutical and food sectors. There is
ongoing work to standardize the processes and procedures of the Secretariat through development
of appropriate standard operating procedures.
Develop and review the bills and regulations: The lack of a legal framework for food and the
inadequate legal framework for medicines is one of the major challenges affecting the regulation of
both medicines and food. To this end, one of the notable achievements of the NMFB is review and
approval of the draft food law, which has since been submitted to the Ministry of Justice.
Furthermore, the review of Medicines Law was also initiated and the task was assigned to a
Technical Working Group (TWG) under the Medicines Committee. Updating and finalization of
these two pieces of legislations is one of the important elements in strengthening the country’s
regulatory system for medicines and food.
Some of the problems in the pharmaceutical sector include, sampling, waste management, illegal
importation of raw materials, cosmetics and hygiene products. To address some of these challenges,
the NMFB is working on several bills for sampling of food and medicines, cosmetic and hygiene
products, pharmaceutical waste management, and importation of raw medicinal materials.
Solving Pharmaceutical and food related problems: Several issues/problems were brought to the
NMFB for decision-making. Some of the issues discussed and resolved include establishment of
new pharmacies, transferring pharmacies from one place to another, blacklisting of 10 Pakistan
Pharmaceutical Companies based on recommendation from the GDPA, restriction of protein
products for sale only in pharmacies based on prescription from physicians, among other issues.
Establishing standard systems for medicines and food: The current fees charged for testing are
outdated and not adequate to cover some of the costs for conducting the tests. As such, based on
request from the National Quality Control Laboratory, the NMFB is currently reviewing the fees for
quality control tests for medicines and food substances. Furthermore, the FC is current working on
preparing standards for food and related issues.

10. 5. Challenges
Despite the notable achievements in this year, the NMFB faced several challenges, which affected
its operation. The members are coming from very diverse backgrounds, and in most cases some
have limited experience on the specific issues brought for discussion, thereby affecting the
deliberations on the technical issues during the meetings. The NMFB does not have sustainable
financial support from the government and depend on financial support from USAID SPS project.
Although the members are appointed based on official invitations from the board, some of the
members are prevented from participating in some meetings by their departments or institutions.
Challenges exist with respect to cooperation and coordination of the various stakeholders involved
in medicine and food related affairs. There is lack of cooperation and coordination between
different departments and ministries involved in food safety control. Currently, the different
departments and ministries are developing multiple legal documents without consultation and
cooperation among themselves. There is need for coordination on the development of legal
documents (regulations, and bills) with clear separation of roles of different stakeholders i.e.
ministry of public health, ministry of agriculture, irrigation and livestock, and local municipality.
6. Future developments
In the coming year, the NMFB will focus on finalizing and having the food and medicine law
approved by the government. This will create the appropriate legal basis for some for the changes
required in the regulatory system. Given the diverse backgrounds and specialized nature of
regulation of medicines and food, the NMFB will focus on capacity building of the members to
ensure meaningful deliberations and contributions by members. An important aspect to be
considered is sustainability of the system in the medium to long term. Currently the NMFB is
entirely supported by the SPS project. In the future, the NMFB will explore other funding
mechanisms and partners to support the NMFB and some of the activities, which are currently not
funded. The NMFB will continue to work on development of necessary regulations and bills for the
proper regulation of medicines and food and this will include regulations for food import, food
hygiene, food control and inspection, review the retail pharmacy regulations. To improve the
coordination of the sectors, the NMFB will establish periodic reporting and update meetings among
the stakeholders and improve communication channels.
7. Good Governance
Confidentiality agreements
All members of the Board and Committees have signed a confidentiality agreement at the time of
appointment to the Board and Committees. All the signed agreements are filed with the Secretariat.
This system is aimed to maintain confidentiality of issues and discussions brought before the
NMFB.
Conflict of interest
All members upon appointment sign a conflict of interest statement. There is no any existing or
potential conflict of interest of current members. If there is any issue that can be disclosed during or
before the NMFB meeting. At each meeting, members are requested to declare any conflict of
interest on the issues on the agenda.
7
11. Accountability & Transparency
This is the first annual report for the NMFB and will be available to the public. The Board’s semiannual and annual reports shall be made available and accessible to stakeholders i.e. made available
on the MoPH website. Furthermore, the NMFB shall conduct periodic or annual stakeholders
meeting to give feedback to and receive comments from stakeholders on the NMFB’s work.
