March 3, 2023 Eliza

The Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare’s Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) has issued a policy on bio-similar medicines for procurement and issuance to CGHS beneficiaries. The regulatory authority for drug approval in India, the Central Drug Standard Control Organization’s Biological Division, defines bio-similar medicines as similar in terms of quality, safety, and efficacy to an approved reference biological product based on comparability. The policy states that bio-similar medicines procured and issued to CGHS beneficiaries should be on par with the reference authorized biologic/original biologic molecule/formulation of biologic medicine in accordance with the CDSCO’s guidelines. The memorandum was approved by Dr. Anjana Rajkumar, the Director of CGHS, on 8th February 2023.
