Institutional
marketing has seen an unprecedented growth over
the last decade owing to the fact that the overall
budget is around a whopping figure of Rs.60 billion.
Both State and Central Governments consider healthcare
top priority and utilize their local budgets as
well as World Bank project aids. The aim is to
cater to the needs of the most economically deprived
classes in the deep interiors of India. For this,
quality drugs are produced in bulk through various
means.
Advancements
in Information Technology have helped to improve
the reach of Public Health Awareness Programmes,
by plugging loopholes in purchase and distribution.
This has led to a more transparent system that
has paved way for more competition. The tenders
have started attracting the attention of multinationals
too. All the more reason to strengthen the Institutional
Marketing and increase its market share.
Today, most of
the Institutions seek the opinion of the expert
committee in finalizing the drug schedule so as
to include the lastest molecules. Every year sees
the inclusion of at least 20 to 25 new drugs in
their list of antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs,
anti-diabetic drugs, anti-tuberculosis drugs,
etc. Considering this, we have strengthened our
Institutional Marketing to ensure that the benefits
reach the poor and the needy while also being
profitable.
The potentiality of Institutional Marketing calls
for more Field Managers in all States to cover all
Government Institutions including Railways, ESI
and other public sector undertakings. While appointing
more Field Force across India, we have also strengthened
our Distribution Network at all levels throughout
the country. Out of a firm commitment
to excel previous sales records, we have decided
to participate in all tenders floated this year,
thus taking the company to tremendous heights.
We have a significant presence in Institutional
markets including Defence Establishments, Director
General of Supplies & Disposals (DGS&D),
Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation (TNMSC),
Armed Forces Medical Stores Depot (APMSD), Director
General of Health Services (DGHS), Employees State
Insurance Corporation (ESIC), Central Government
Health Services (CGHS), Railways, Postal & Telegraph
(P&T) and various other State Government Institutions
and Government Aided Medical Schemes.
