Two from Udupi chosen for interaction with PM Modi on Janaushadhi Diwas


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (SP)

Udupi, Mar 6: Two persons from the district will take part in the video interaction with Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi being organized on the occasion of 'Janaushadhi Diwas' celebrations being organized on Sunday, March 7.

Sundar Poojary Moodukukkude, owner of the Janaushadhi centre located near the community health centre at Brahmavar and Sudhir Poojary will interact with the Prime Minister on this occasion. The programme is being organized on the ground next to the Brahmavar community health centre. Union minister for chemicals and fertilizers, D V Sadananda Gowda, also will take part in the programme.

For the last three years, the union government has been celebrating March 7 as of Janaushadhi Diwas in order to create awareness among the public about making use of generic medicines.  On this day every year, the PM has been interacting with the beneficiaries of the scheme. This year, two from the district have been selected for the purpose.

Sundar Poojary had opened the Janaushadhi Centre at Brahmavar in September 2018. On average, a hundred people buy medicines from this shop every day and the sale of medicines averages four to five lac rupees per month.

Sudhir Poojary, who is from Manuru Padukere, Kota, a specially-abled person chosen under the segment of the beneficiaries of the Janaushadhi scheme, was prescribed seven different tablets by the doctor. He had to spend Rs 2,500 on these medicines per month. Sudhir has now resorted to buying these medicines from the Janaushdari Kendras as a result of which his medical expenses have come down. 
 
Dr Padmanabha Kamath, cardiologist of KMC Hospital Mangaluru has been chosen for the 'Best Janaushadhi Doctor' award for this year. Dr Kamath happens to be from among a handful of doctors chosen from all over the country for this coveted award.

    first ಜನ ಔಷಧಿ .. then mixopathy ... quality and professional standards diluted everywhere to boost ಬನಿಯ driven medicare... after some time even veterinary doctors might be permitted to prescribe or operate humans... mostly these generic medicines are produced by ಬನಿಯ type set-ups... with very high volume, major pharma offers something at 200 per strip where bania generic offers at 80 per strip...imagine the quality dilution in terms of poor quality employees, poor quality control, poor packaging... generic medicines close to expiry date look degraded... because of poor packing... poor packing/storage also causes medicines to lose potency early... all this not to talk of duplicate / fake medicines industry who counterfeit well-known medicines...

    Before giving your might be highs and lows, just watch on Youtube Amir Khan’s “Satyameva Jayathe” episode on generic medicines, in which he interviews a professional expert confirming the efficiency of such medicines.

    There are 2 types of people. One who will keep their political agendas aside and be happy for the people in our society who are succeeding and second who wants to make everything political.

    doctors should prescribe PM janunoushadi medicines and this is really beneficial to all. Prices of medicines are very cheap and quality in these medicals. I have seen the queue in some of the janaushadi medicals in mangalore/udupi..you get good quality of n95 mask for 25rs, horlicks for 175, janani drinks for pregnant and protien drinks at very cheap rate. I request to all the use these facilities. Even the dandruff solution for just 50 rs and it worked well for me.

    I dont think is a Drama,. Its not required. Even if an election is conducted today, Modi will be elected in a majority. Drama is required for the candidates of that party that is fighting for survival with regional parties with its leaders runnin away to safe constituencies in Kerala to win on Muslim votes.
