      AIDS: A Challenge for Drug Makers

      "Indian Pharma companies may have helped in driving down prices and increasing competition in the anti-AIDS segment in the global arena.

      But they still have a huge challenge in making their drugs available at home, besides turning out the next – generation of anti-retroviral or anti-AIDS drugs to beat the emergence of multi drug resistance in this segment", says Professor Richard Feachem, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

      Outlining the role that domestic generic companies such as Cipla and Ranbaxy could play in the national anti-AIDS program, he said the role of the Global Fund is to buy drugs at a subsidized price from companies and provide them to people who need it.

      But that would be through a process of Government tender, and the drugs with the lowest price assured quality would be procured.

      Prices have come down over the last two years from about $15,000 per year to $300 and are still falling, he said.  Companies are not losing money. They are still making profits as this is a high-volume, low – profit segment, he said.

      Prof Feachem is on his first visit to India as the chief of the Global Fund and he has met with top brass of the Government, corporate and the Non-Government segment.  We have a policy of transparency and have had discussion in India with domestic generic companies such as Cipla and Ranbaxy.  Our role is to make companies aware that investments are on their way; the real challenge is in the production capacities. There would be a shortfall of drugs if every HIV/AIDS person were provided them.  We are constantly in touch with European companies such as Merck and GSK, but don’t have a relationship with any one of them.

      He admitted that making anti-AIDS drugs randomly available would bring about issues of multi-drug resistance. This is a major medical and scientific challenge in the HIV, TB and malaria segments. If you withhold the drug, people will die and if your distribute it, at some stage resistance will emerge. The challenge for pharma companies is in minimizing the problem or in slowing it down. But it cannot be completely removed.  The only solution is in distributing the drugs through reputed centres in a controlled way.

      He admitted that there were initial delays after the first round of funding as there was no distribution mechanism in place.  But that has been settled and the second and third rounds would flow quickly, he assured.

      He pointed out that AIDS is assuming pandemic proportions in India and the country needed to urgently respond to avert a catastrophe.  Funds are beginning to come in, the challenge now is implementation, he said.

      Kidney Issue

      In West Bengal many industries are located and the economical condition of the downtrodden is always a problem.

      The need for good heath is a matter of concern for one and all here. Due to unhygienic surroundings the food stuffs prepared are injurious to health say the labor force.

      Due to intense stomach pain a youth by name Nirmal Burman from South Thinajpur district of West Bengal was admitted in a leading hospital in that area. He is a second year student college student and he was analyzed in Santhya private hospital in Kangrampur and was reported by the doctor that he should undergo operation in his intestine. So he agreed to that and underwent surgical operation. Later he was discharged and he was dazed from the doctors to know that his right side kidney found missing. When he enquired with anxiety he did not get proper reply from them. He then rushed to another hospital by name Tishari Hospital in Malta. The doctors fully checked and confirmed that his right kidney was missing. He shouted that his kidney has been removed without his permission. He claimed that the two doctors from Santhya hospital have stolen for money and safe to foreign countries for a big price. He made a complaint to the police and the two doctors were arrested.

      To further investigate, the Medical and kidney experts from S.S.K.M hospital in West Bengal have formed a six member committee to see whether right side kidney was really removed and to check whether the patient really had any kidney on the right side from birth. Kalyan Malik Supdt of Police is taking steps to finalize this kidney issue which has created a big commotion amongst the public.

      Apart from such scandals all over India, a team of Medical professionals and Secretary of Health Service Division visited many countries to analyze the methods adopted in various hospitals, Health Centers and Ministry departments regarding organ transplantation issues. The Union Minister for Health Anbumani has informed that
