The goal is to ensure rational and transparent enforcement while improving drug safety surveillance
The Union government is drawing up an index to gauge states and union territories on their preparedness to enforce central regulations on drugs, medical devices and cosmetics, according to officials and documents.
The Controller General of India (DCGI) is finalizing the parameters for the index to be adopted by states and UTs. Currently every state and UT has its own set of regulations.
The goal is to make enforcement rational and transparent, and improve drug safety surveillance and standards.
