This will ensure high standards of quality compliance with respect to drugs manufactured in the country.

An action plan for nationwide inspection of manufacturing units that are identified as being at risk of manufacturing non-standard quality (NSQ), adulterated, or spurious drugs was made prior to carrying out the inspections.
