Dear Dr Tamhankar,
It is really wonderful that you have put the web page.
I will send the report of the meeting with civil society on Rational Use of Drugs which included Rational Use of Antibiotics. As part of Women's Health activities, specially addressing Maternal Mortality, Rational Use of Antibiotics in dealing with sepsis & also Malaria etc was dealt with. National Commission of Women organized a consultation on Draft National Policy for women in Agriculture. I made the public health inputs which amongst other things included communicable diseases eg Malaria in Assam, Chattisgarh, where incidentally there has been shortage of chloroquin & other health problems, injury, infections, fungal diseases etc. & the need for Rational use of Antibiotics & the problem of emergence of antibiotic Resistance. Since Chairpersons of State Commission of Women were there the concern has been introduced, & will be followed up.
