Delhi Medical
Association (DMA) honoured Dr Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister for Health and
Family Welfare, Science and Technology and Earth Sciences for his contribution
to the medical fraternity and outstanding service and exemplary work during the
COVID-19 Pandemic.
On the occasion of
DMA's 62nd Annual Delhi State Medical
Conference (MEDICON 2021) in collaboration with Dharamshila Narayana Hospital
on Sunday, 7th March 2021 at Hotel The Lalit, New Delhi, Dr Harsh Vardhan was
hailed as a beacon of hope for over a billion people during the world's biggest
health crisis in recent memory. The Union Health Minister, who not only
engineered polio eradication in
At the event, Dr Harsh Vardhan said,
"It is a proud privilege and honour for me to be present here at MEDICON
2021 and receiving this award. I have several cherished memories of my time in
the prestigious Delhi Medical Association (DMA), which has a rich history of
some of the most esteemed medical professionals, not only in

Pandemic gave us the opportunity that all of us come together and put
Dr Harsh Vardhan said, "We are 14
months into what is the biggest health crisis in our lifetime and almost 2
months into the world's largest COVID-19 vaccination drive. As of today, we
have administered over 2 crore COVID-19 vaccine shots and have increased our
vaccination rate to 15 lakhs per day. Unlike most other countries, we have a
steady supply of COVID-19 vaccines that are safe with proven immunogenicity
& efficacy. Based on the initial results, these Made in
Dr Harsh Vardhan
asserted that today children in the entire world need to be vaccinated against
Poliomyelitis only because Pakistan and Afghanistan failed to eradicate this
disease from their respective countries, although Polio stands eradicated from
the rest of the world.Similarly, India cannot be safe from coronovirus and
COVID19 if rest of the world continues to be unsafe, which is why it is
essential to curb COVID-19 “vaccine nationalism. If the poor and underdeveloped
countries continue to harbour the Novel Coronavirus, we shall not be able to
ensure safety for all. A fair and equitable distribution of the vaccine is the
biggest need of the hour.”
He noted, "Under
the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji,
Dr Harsh Vardhan added,
“It was PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji's insistence that COVID-19 Vaccines should be
provided with no strings attached, and the countries without the vaccine supply
should not be taken advantage of at the time of a global humanitarian
crisis."
Looking at the possibility of
eradication of COVID-19 in India, Dr Harsh Vardhan said, " We are in the
end game of the COVID-19 Pandemic in India, and to succeed at this stage, we
need to follow 3 steps: Keep politics out of the COVID-19 vaccination drive,
Trust the science behind COVID-19 Vaccines, and Ensure our near & dear ones
get vaccinated on time.”
He added, “The government has already
involved private players in COVID-19 vaccination, and if hospitals want, they
can conduct vaccination 24x7. My request to everyone is that just like people
embraced 'Jan Andolan for COVID-19 Appropriate Behaviour', they should embrace
Jan Andolan for COVID-19 Vaccination and get all COVID-19 vaccine shots whenever
they are eligible."
President, Delhi
Medical Association (DMA), Dr B.B. Wadhwa said, ” Dr Harsh Vardhan is the pride
of medical fraternity. He has beenthe president of DMA in the past. We
acknowledge and appreciate his exemplary missionary zeal in getting
Dr Ajay Gambhir, Hony State Secretary
said that “We have worked under the leadership of Dr. Harsh Vardhan ji in the
past during the Pulse Polio program and DMA is now fully engaged in helping to
develop the health care infrastructure across the country as well as in the
vaccination program. He said that on the eve of Women’s Day, we pledge to work
for women’s rights as well as for theprevention of cancer.

Dr Harsh Vardhan
Inaugurates Jan Aushadhi Centre at Deep Market, Ashok Vihar
“Today, there are 7500 Jan Aushadhi Kendras across various districts of the
country”
“Committed to providing quality, accessible and affordable healthcare to all
citizen”
Posted On: 07 MAR 2021 5:07PM by PIB
Dr. Harsh Vardhan,
Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare inaugurated a Jan Aushadhi
Centre at Deep Market, Ashok Vihar on the occasion of Jan Aushadhi Diwas,
today.
The Union Health Minister stated that on
7th March 2019, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had
declared that henceforth 7th March every year would be celebrated as Jan Aushadhi
Diwas for promoting and increasing the outreach of generic medicines. The theme
of 3rd Jan Aushadhi Diwas this year is “Seva bhi- Rozgar Bhi” to highlight the meaningful employment to
pharmacists along with assured access to quality medicines for all sections of
the society.
Dr Harsh Vardhan informed that today is
the culmination of the week-long celebration of the ‘Jan Aushadhi Week’. During the period from 1 -
6 March, 2021 various events like organizing medical camps, distribution of
sanitary napkins, holding padayatra, bike rally etc., have been organized for
creating awareness about Jan Aushadhi. The Union Minister recollected having
been satisfied at the availability of Jan Ausadhi at Mon in Nagaland in his
recent trip. The district is one of the geographically remotest parts of North
East.
Detailing Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya
Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP)'s journey so far, Dr Harsh Vardhan noted, “In
the first six years of the scheme, i.e., from 2008 till the year 2014, only 86
stores were opened. In the next six years (up to 2020) the number of outlets have grown
to 7,300. All the districts of the country have already been covered. Today, on
March 7th, 2021, we have started the 7500th Kendra.
We are committed to increasing the number of stores to 10,000 by the year
2024.”
Appreciating the impact of Jan Aushadhi
Centres on people and its role as a source of income for many people, he noted,
“Approximately 1.00 to 1.25 Crore people are taking medicines from Jan Aushadhi
Kendra’s every month. The popularity of the Kendras can be judged from the fact
that people refer these Kendras as ‘Pradhan Mantri Ji Ki Dukan’, 'Modicine'
etc. Besides providing quality, affordable generic medicines, the scheme has
proved as a good source of employment to the educated unemployed youth of the
country. More than 15,000 persons are directly employed at various levels in
Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra’s (PMBJKs), with logistics partners
like distributors, quality testing labs etc. It is also praiseworthy to note
that more than 1,000 Kendras are run by women entrepreneurs/pharmacists.”
Reiterating the government’s commitment
towards strengthening PMBJP during this year, the Union Minister said two
initiatives have been taken in the new year. First is the Introduction of New Incentive Plan to make the scheme more attractive. Under this plan,
the incentive provided to the Kendra owners has been enhanced from existing Rs.
2.50 lakh to Rs. 5.00 lakh, maximum at Rs. 15,000 per month. Further, one time
incentive of Rs. 2 lakhs for computer and furniture have been approved for
stores opened by women, SC and ST & any entrepreneur in aspirational
districts or
Dr Vardhan highlighted
and appreciated the role of PMBJKs during COVID-19 pandemic. He said, “In the
wake of COVID-19 pandemic, PMBJKs have rendered essential services to the
nation. All Kendras (PMBJKs) maintained their operations regularly and made
medicines available to citizens. The sale of medicines in the stores
increased during the nationwide lockdown.”
Dr. Harsh Vardhan
concluded by pointing out that this initiative is just a brick in the
government's commitment to holistic health; AB-HWCs scans people for diabetes,
hypertension and other grave diseases like cancer at more than 50,000 centres
while more than 24,000 private hospitals provide free healthcare to them at the
drop of a PM-JAY Card; Jal Jeevan Mission will provide potable water and weed
out water borne diseases; Ujwala Scheme has provided gas cylinders to women and
prevented lung diseases in them; New Budgetary provisions visualize NIV like
institutes in all corners of the country to tackle novel diseases with
potential to become a pandemic along with increase in specialized hospital
capacity to treat them at all levels of healthcare.
