The All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) raised objection to the proposed collaboration between Swiggy Instamart and PharmaEasy for the ten-minute medicine deliveries via Dark Stores, citing potential legal standards violations and public health risks.

AIOCD's president JS Shinde said that this partnership could likely ignore essential standards like proper prescription checking and patient identification. Hence, risking public health.The AIOCD added that the ultra- fast delivery model may increase the risk of expired or counterfeit medicines, affecting patients' safety.

"In such a model, it is impossible to meet quality standards," it said. AIOCD said despite efforts by govt to tackle the threats of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the unregulated operation of e-pharmacies may worsen this problem. "Such partnerships undermine the efforts to fight AMR," it added.

The AIOCD has urged the government to review these issues thoroughly and to implement measures to ensure safe, reliable healthcare for the citizens.

Meghalaya Healthcare Association which is affiliated to AIOCD, also has the same views as AIOCD, the state body protests any such agreement between e-pharmacy and swiggy which may lead to serious threat to the patients.
