USFDA SETS UP OFFICES IN INDIA
NEW DELHI: Consumers in India and US can now benefit from the enhanced safety of food, drugs and medical devices as the US Food and Drug Administration has set up its offices in India
US officials of Department of Health and Human Services, Mike Leavitt and Von Eschenbach, who were in India for the inauguration of offices in Mumbai and Delhi said, “India warrants attention because it exports a large volume of products to US and is an increasingly popular site for clinical trials.” These offices are a part of the USFDA’s `Beyond the Border Initiative’ to expand consumer-protection efforts beyond America.
