@PreetiChoudhry Beautifully captured, Bengal does seem to normalise an ease and an agency for women that feels rare and refreshing! :)

@theliverdoc This is great news - brings hope and relief ! Good treatment should heal people, not financially break them.. evidence like this can prevent medical bankruptcy. Thanks doc for this work, kudos!

देश के सबसे साफ शहर में गंदा पानी पीने से 10 से ज्यादा लोगों की मौत हो चुकी है जिस शख्स पर लोगों को साफ पानी पिलाने का जिम्मा है वो सवालों को फोकट बता रहे हैं हमारे सवालों को "घंटे" में उड़ा रहे हैं @manishdekoder @GargiRawat @Abhinav_Pan @sanket

Hardly anyone in India breathing good quality air! It’s impacting all our health, silently & stealthily. Time for a science based national clean air mission - we have solved other big problems before & the solutions are available. @PMOIndia @NITIAayog @moefcc @MoHFW_INDIA

One of the most meaningful projects happening at the moment.

If you care about accessible, evidence-backed healthcare, please consider supporting or spreading the word.

Generic drugs vs. Branded drugs project

An update.

Within 24 hours, we were able to raise ₹1200,000/- with you kind support. This is massive - a sign of great interest from the public. Help us keep it alive.

The whole project cost is ₹2793000/- including detailed analysis work, purchase, transportation, logistics, future paper publication and open access fees.

We do not have any sponsors other than you.

Please help us reach the goal so that this project sees the light at the end of the tunnel. There is no other major public health project that is so important in India right now. And you can help us go the distance.

To contribute, please go here: https://t.co/6YXy2Ko6hT - and share this with your family and friends.

If you have entrepreneurs or business owners who are interested in not-for-profit healthcare projects like these and would like to contribute larger sums to this public health project, please get in touch with them too with the link and project details. We want to kick-off the analyses early next week.

IMPORTANT!
Dear friends, we need your help.

The Citizens Generics vs. Branded Drugs Project is now LIVE! for your contributions.

India is the "Pharmacy of the World," supplying 20% of global generic medicines. Yet millions of Indian patients remain trapped between unaffordable branded drugs and generics they don't trust.

We're changing that through citizen-funded science.

The question we're answering: Is your affordable medicine just as effective as the expensive brand—or are you compromising your health to save money?

Our project analyses essential medicines across critical therapeutic categories to rigorous laboratory analysis:

✅Antibiotics - Azithromycin, Amoxicillin, Rifaximin
✅Heart & Blood Pressure - Telmisartan, Amlodipine, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, Aspirin
✅Diabetes & Gout - Metformin, Febuxostat
✅Digestive Health - Pantoprazole, Omeprazole, Ranitidine, UDCA
✅Pain & Inflammation - Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Prednisolone
✅Allergy & Respiratory - Montelukast, Cetirizine
✅Thyroid & Supplements - Thyroxine, Folic Acid, Calcium+Vitamin D

For each medicine, we compare Branded Drugs, Branded Generics, Jan Aushadhi, Trade and Local Generics (State Government, Generic Aadhar & Dava India)—testing what patients actually buy from pharmacies.

22 types of medicines, 2-4 categories, 133 drugs in total!

All testing is conducted in FDA & NABL-accredited laboratories using country standards:

- Weight Variation Test — to ensure uniformity of dosage units within a batch
- Identification — to confirm authenticity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient
- Assay Testing — Does the tablet contain what the label claims?
- Dissolution Testing — Does the medicine release properly in your body?
- Impurity Profiling — Are there harmful contaminants?

This project is 100% publicly funded with your help! —no pharmaceutical company sponsorship, no conflicts of interest.

Every Indian deserves medicines that are safe, effective, and trusted—regardless of price.

This is brought to you by The Mission for Ethics and Science in Healthcare (MESH).

Support independent pharmacovigilance.

@theliverdoc Chipped in a bit, will also spread the word. Thanks a ton for the initiative..

[Debjani @debsallhere]

@keshavagarwalep @MCD_Delhi @gupta_rekha @PankajSinghBJP This is unacceptable, @MCD_Delhi @gupta_rekha @PankajSinghBJP. The Dhalo in CR Park B Block has become a dumping ground right in front of a school and homes. Children and residents are facing a serious hazard.— this needs immediate clean-up and strict waste management action.

Good to see Indian govt pushing for #Seqeuncing based #survellence for 5% of positive #SARSCoV2 samples to track out the new #UKvariant and also find newer mutations. Kudos to the initiative . @IGIBSocial @DBTIndia

@paimadhu There is a commercially available off the shelf kit, based on use of RBD, eliminates live virus use.. it’s worked quite effectively for sero surveillance and plasma neutralisation Ab detection here in India..they can try this .. https://t.co/lth5gB0VTe

Always good to see India’s #genome #sequencing initiatives hit mainstream print.
