• Platinum chemotherapy shortage in India is becoming a major oncology challenge

• Cisplatin & carboplatin are backbone drugs across many cancers

• The issue is not just “drug availability” → raw material crisis → pricing pressure → manufacturing economics → supply-chain disruption

• Real-world impact: → treatment delays → dose modifications → regimen changes → inventory pressure

• Quick visual summary of: ✓ What is happening
✓ Why it is happening
✓ Clinical implications
✓ Possible solutions

Would like to hear how different centres are managing this situation.

MBBS course harsh Reality:

Total students appeared in NEET-UG 2023 - 20,38,596

Total MBBS seats in Medical colleges - 1,09,015

Out of these, government medical college MBBS seats - approx. 56,000

Seats in private medical colleges - approx -53,000

Approx - 25,000 students go to abroad for MBBS degree every year.

Remaining 18lakhs 50 thousand students choose again to restart or join other courses.

Acceptance rate in Government medical college is just mere 2.8%.

And all this for what??? Sleepless nights, improper management, and it doesn’t end here. The rat race again starts for NEET-PG.

Coaching companies are just minting money due to this cut throat competition.

Useful algorithm in ALL decision-making to choose between or combine HSCT and CART cells. There's no winner between CART Cell and Transplant. The only winner is our patient!!! @MSRMHOfficial @CollegeRamaiah @PalasseryRasmi #ASH23
