Advanced facility launched to test drugs & food locally
Patna: The quality of medicines and food products can now be tested within Bihar itself, health minister Mangal Pandey said on Thursday after inaugurating a newly built equipment section at the Bihar Joint Food and Drug Control Laboratory at Agamkuan in Patna. The state-of-the-art facility, developed at a cost of Rs 14 crore, was inaugurated jointly with assembly Speaker Nand Kishore Yadav. Until now, samples had to be sent to laboratories outside the state, often taking several months for reports to be returned. The installation of 28 types of modern testing equipment will reduce that time and strengthen Bihar's capacity to monitor drug and food safety. "Now Bihar will not have to depend on other states for this test. With this new laboratory, the tests will not only be done immediately, but there will also be speed in identifying wrong and fake medicines and removing them from the market," said Pandey. He added that a food testing laboratory had been established on the same campus three months ago at a cost of Rs 16 crore. "The goal of the department is not only to ensure quality treatment, but also to give a reliable and scientific basis to the quality testing and monitoring of medicines," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The minister announced that a new building would soon come up on the laboratory campus at a cost of Rs 30 crore.
