N Despite significant strides, recent tragic events highlight deep vulnerabilities that cannot be overlooked.
Initiatives like the Gruha Arogya Yojana and FSSAI's clampdowns on hazardous substances in food have been welcomed, reflecting a proactive approach to healthcare. These measures are vital, especially in addressing the rising burden of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and they reflect a growing awareness of the need for accessible, community-based healthcare.
However, these achievements are overshadowed by persistent flaws within the system. The recent maternal deaths in Ballari, linked to a batch of contaminated Ringer's Lactate from an authorised supplier, serve as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by substandard medical supplies.
The fact that these drugs came from an approved channel is deeply troubling and underscores the urgency of tightening oversight in pharmaceutical distribution.
One preventable death is one too many, and public trust in the system is eroding rapidly.
