How much money is being spent on doctor in conferences? Pharma companies, associations may soon have make those declarations
The pharma companies and medical associations might need to disclose in the future the money they spend per doctor in conferences, a recent media report by The Print has stated.
Recommendations in this regard were made by a high-level government panel set up to review the Uniform Code of Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices (UCPMP).
Apart from this, the panel has also suggested that the doctors cannot be given brand reminders, in case the value exceeds Rs 1,000 per item. Brand reminders refer to products that are offered for free to doctors by marketing representatives of pharma companies with the names of popular medicinal brands.
