New Delhi: The Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) on March 16, 2022, printed the draft UCMDMP which is meant to be a voluntary code to control truthful advertising practices by the Medical Device trade. The advertising practices of the Medical Device Sector are at present being voluntarily regulated by Uniform Code for Pharmaceuticals Marketing Practices (UCPMP) which is a code based mostly on the advertising dynamics of the pharmaceutical trade.

The medical system trade is a vital keystone within the healthcare supply system and is inherently completely different from prescribed drugs. The issuance of draft UCMDMP signifies that the federal government has taken cognisance of the truth that a separate code is required which might precisely seize the moral advertising follow necessities for the medical system sector.

As per the order issued by DoP, stakeholder feedback have been sought until April 15, 2022.

Pavan ChoudaryChairman & Director General, MTaI stated, “The announcement that the government is following through the implementation of the UCMDMP voluntarily (which is the right way to go about it) is heartening for every company which follows a high level of ethical standards. It will surely translate into more credible healthcare delivery as well as restrain the fly by night operators- who pose a great risk for patients and the reputation of the medical device industry.”

“In times to come, we hope it will separate the chaff from the grain and give the ethical players the public esteem they deserve. Its impact will hopefully also spill over and check those operators who have found a way to circumvent the price control affected on scheduled medical devices in this government’s regime.” Choudary added.
