Govt notifies uniform marketing code for medical devices sector

The Indian government has issued a notification to establish a uniform code for marketing practices in the medical device industry. This move aims to prevent unethical practices within the industry. Under the code, medical devices associations are prohibited from organizing workshops abroad for healthcare professionals, offering them hotel stays or grants. Associations are required to form ethics committees for marketing practices, disclose information related to distribution of evaluation samples, and expenses incurred on conferences and workshops. The code also prohibits the promotion of medical devices prior to regulatory approval and restricts the provision of gifts or personal benefits to healthcare professionals or their families by medical device companies.
