  • Other regulations include that the fertility regulator must assess each case for a significant risk of disability or serious illness, fertility clinics would need a new licence to offer the technique, the woman donating her egg would not be related to the child and any child born would have no right to information about the donor.
  • Fetuses can now be conceived using genetic material from three people — a mother, father, and a second woman, who serves as a donor of a vital cellular component.
  • The controversial IVF method will prevent mothers from passing on serious mitochondrial diseases to their children.
  • The first baby in Britain with three genetic parents is all set to take birth by next year.

Now, a Toll-Free Number to Report Medicine Reactions

  • The health ministry has launched a toll-free number “18001803024”, where people can call and report the side-effects and problems faced by them along with details of the medicine, suspected to have caused the adverse reaction.
  • The information received would be then screened and assessed by the Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Centers by using international parameters set by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
  • Thereafter, the analyzed information would be forwarded to the national coordinating centre, which maintains a database for adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
  • The health ministry has also set up a steering committee which will periodically review the data and suggest any intervention that may be required.
  • The government would also share this database with international agencies including WHO, which manages the Global Pharmacovigilance Database.
  • The move would enable an environment that will allow reportage of adverse reactions from every nook and corner of the country.
