Pakistani members on Thalpal.com are the first one to know about Global/Vision Pharma's "Secret" which is going to be public in upcoming months.
I'm going to tell it to you RIGHT NOW!
Drum roll please :biggrin
We have successfully made our own version of Desferal which is ready to be deployed! It will surely end the DFO supply crisis and we would have a cheaper (I hope so) alternative to Novartis's brand that will ensure continuous chelation to local Thals who can't take L1/Ferrinill etc (like me).
However!!! Yep, you're thinking "uh oh, there's something wrong"
It can't be used UNLESS our ever so efficient "Ministry of Health" c/o Ms Sherry Rehman (the same person who has yet to fulfill her promises she made on Thal. day) approves it! :banghead
The medicine has been waiting to be approved since a month or so and would probably take more time to do so.
We can't deploy it for use; unless it gets approved :frustrated

I'm sorry to hear this Sajid. :wah
Is there something that we could do to speed up the process? :dunno
We have so many caring member here that surely if we signed a petition it might make your health minister speed up the process? :letsgo
I'll pray that it happens soon. :pray
