Press Trust Of India / Kolkata Nov 30, 2009, 01:04 IST
The Centre today said it would soon frame a law to prevent government doctors from receiving gifts and cash from pharmaceutical companies.
“Doctors take favours from pharma companies either in the form of cash or in kind and in return give unnecessary favour to them...They prescribe costly medicines of that company...To stop this, the Centre has decided to formulate a law and implement it soon,” Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Gulam Nabi Azad said at a Nationalistic Doctor’s Forum programme.
Azad said the Centre would set up an AIIMS-like institute in West Bengal soon and the state government has already agreed to allot 100-acre land for the purpose.
The Union government has sanctioned Rs 890 crore for the 960-bed hospital with super-speciality facility, he said.
A central fund of Rs 140 crore has also been sanctioned for upgrading Calcutta Medical College and Hospital.
He said the Centre has also decided to go in for a private-public partnership to accelerate and improve the healthcare system of the country.
Politicians are making unlimited money is there any valid law to control their activities.We have only laws but how is the corrupt people going to implement.There are enough laws on bribery but they cannot be pulled into it unless there is approval.
That means in this corrupt country there is enough safegaurds for the corrupt and powerful.you all have seen the murderer getting released on payrole-Manu Sharma.Can anybody asses the assets of only the politicians.
As per the figures there are about 1453Billion USD in Swiss Banks belonging to Indian Politicians,Industrialists,Beaurocrats and Police offficers etc.Why always a law is there but question is who will impliment it.Even Pakistan is better on the world hunger index.I am sure they must be better than us even on corrption front.I have no faith on Indian,Police,Judiciary and Politicians.God also cannot save this country.
