Asia's Biggest Leaders in Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare to Meet in Mumbai to Discuss Policy Reforms at Pharmaleaders Historic 6th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit and Business Leadership Awards 2013


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, December 26, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Pharma Companies & Doctors need to widen the gap of meaningful dialogue in scientific & medical communications. Ethics in Medical Profession is key to sustainable growth & innovation - Satya Brahma

Pharmaleaders 2013 annual & historic platform 6th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Business Leadership Awards 2013 organized by Network 7 Media Group's Pharmaleaders, Asia's most analytical healthcare media will raise the issue of greater interaction, meaningful interaction & dialogue between the Indian Medical Practitioners & the drug makers in the branded formulation market said Satya Brahma Chairman & Editor-In-Chief of Pharmaleaders. Of late we have seen the widening gap of interaction in the form of updating clinical & medical communications to the Doctors by the Pharma Companies leading to the erosion of values in medical profession. Traditionally the standard practice of detailing to the doctors has been to update the doctors by the pharma companies through communication materials such as visual ads, product informations, new & research product launches. Doctors look at Medical Representatives as the tool to update their knowledge in latest breakthrough in medical research & look at the Pharma Companies as the reliable partner of their medical practice who reach out to them to get an endorsement of the product baskets.

FDI Policy, Clinical Trial Approvals, Compulsive licensing & the slowdown in the number of new product launches, regulatory challenges, the hostile economic environment in India, Drug Prices Control Order (DPCO) 2013 of lowering the prices of 348 essential drugs are some of the biggest challenges & worries for the leading Indian pharma companies seem to indicate that the lack of interest in staying in business leading to the wider concentration on reaching out to the doctors.

"There is widespread report of an unholy nexus between the doctors & the pharma companies in cementing commercial deals are distressing & is increasing rapidly in India despite MCI guidelines. Give & Take seem to be the order of the day resulting in the erosion of ethics in medical profession. It is widely believed that pharma companies & doctors are engaged in dubious commercial transactions as pharma companies feel that doctors have multiple options available to endorse the products in regular product basket unless the pharma company has something new to offer which compel the doctors to prescribe. This is the focal point at the Summit as we attempt to bring face to face with the drug companies & doctors in the single platform said" Satya Brahma

Pharmaleaders believe that though the entire scenario is not the same as doctors & pharma companies know that it is only the research driven products & efficacy in drugs are key but the large portion of the market need to increase the interaction on strong medical values & ethics in profession.
