NMC asks medical colleges to set up committee to monitor, assess adverse events related to medical devices
NEW DELHI: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed all medical institutions to set up a committee to monitor adverse events related to medical devices, with the aim of monitoring, assessing, and preventing such harmful occurrences. In a public notice, NMC Secretary Dr Raghav Langer stated that each medical institution must register its committee with the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), mention the name of the coordinator or convenor and any additional members on its website, and update the Pharmacovigilance Committee members' details by July 31. The notice, dated July 13, said that the medical superintendent should be the chair of the committee. Dr Langer said the advantages of becoming a Medical Device Adverse Events Monitoring Centre (MDMC) is that the medical colleges will serve as an ideal hub for materiovigilance due to their diverse patient populations and access to advanced healthcare technologies. He said MDMC offers multiple strategic advantages like academic recognition. 'Participation enhances the institution's stature as a contributor to national public health and regulatory science,' he said. Also, he said, it will provide faculty and students hands-on exposure to post-market surveillance, risk assessment, and patient safety. It will also help the institution to access Materiovigilance Programme of India (MvPI) resources, training modules, and national-level collaboration.

Perth sport stars say there's room in city for Bears as State of Origin looms
Perth has rolled out the royal welcome for State of Origin with the godfather of West Australian sport declaring there is enough room for the Bears in the state. NSW took to the field at the future home of the NRL club on Monday for an opposed session, facing a composite side drawn from local league players and Super Rugby side the Western Force. Also in attendance at HBF Park were UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena, former Perth Glory goalkeeper Liam Reddy and cricket legends Mike Hussey and Justin Langer. No voice carries more weight in West Australian sport than that of Langer, who was revered in the state during his international cricket playing and coaching careers, and sits on the West Coast Eagles' board. And while the Bears will run through the same winter season as the Eagles once they enter the NRL in 2027, Langer said there was no doubt the city had room for both major football codes. Loading 'There's enough people and enough people to support their different codes,' Langer said. 'The West love their sport. We see it in the summer with the Glory (soccer) as well. The Wildcats (basketball), of course. There is a good following for the Force in rugby union. 'A lot of eastern staters come over and work over here. So I get where that passion and energy is coming from.'

Langer wants Labuschagne to stay for sake of youth
Justin Langer has urged Australia to stick with Marnus Labuschagne in the top order, warning the next generation could be set up to fail if he is dropped. Labuschagne's spot has come under intense scrutiny following Australia's World Test Championship final loss, after he was moved up to open against South Africa. Scores of 17 and 22 extended his century drought to almost 24 months, averaging just 27.82 in the two-year Test Championship window. Australia coach Andrew McDonald insisted after Labuschagne remained a big part of the future, but questioned at what point they stop picking the right-hander. It was in Langer's stint as coach that he handed Labuschagne his Test debut in 2018, with the Queenslander rising to the top of the world batting rankings by the end of 2021. And Langer said it was vital Labuschagne remains in the team, given the top order are in the middle of a transition with Usman Khawaja aged 38 and Steve Smith 36. "Marnus is a 50-Test player. He's been the best player in the world. He still averages (46.19)," Langer said, while watching NSW prepare for State of Origin in Perth. "All players go through it. If you're not scoring runs, you're going to be under the spotlight. "But all of a sudden David Warner leaves. And then Usman Khawaja leaves. And then Steve Smith. "If Marnus isn't playing well, you've got a huge gap there because Travis Head bats down the order. So he's actually a very, very important link in this chain here. "If I was the Australian team, I'd be focusing – and I'm sure they are – all their attention on getting Marnus to come good in however that is." Labuschagne is expected to move back down to No.3 for Australia's looming Tests against West Indies, with Sam Konstas an option to open and Steve Smith in doubt. Nathan McSweeney was also blooded last summer, while Australia have indicated they see Cameron Green as a top-order batter. Australia have one eye on this summer's Ashes, with Josh Inglis also remaining in the squad after a century on debut in Sri Lanka earlier this year. But Langer said it was crucial for the next generation that Labuschagne remained in the team alongside whatever young players come in. "You think about the history of Australian cricket. The best young players come in surrounded by absolute guns," Langer said. "Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting, Damien Martyn and Matthew Hayden. They come in and they're around gun players. "If you just all of a sudden bring a couple of kids in, Cameron Green's still young to the game. And you have to bring another kid in there (to replace Labuschagne). "Sam Konstas, he played a few Tests, right? I think he's only got two first-class hundreds at the moment. And they were both in the same game. "I say this with absolute respect, but these new guys coming in, they're not averaging 50 (in first-class cricket). "These other guys coming through, you've got to be smacking the door down.
