On January 19, JSS College of Pharmacy in Mysuru hosted a stakeholder briefing under the IMPACT-VIP programme, a Japan-India collaboration supported by JICA. The meeting focused on one main question: how can visually impaired people safely manage medicines? Dr. T. M. Pramod Kumar, Principal of JSS College of Pharmacy, said, "As pharmacists, we see every day how medication errors, unclear labels and inaccessible instructions put visually-impaired patients at risk." He added, "This meeting is meant to listen to those experiences, study the evidence we have collected across five states, and explore how technology and policy together can improve medication safety and independence." The event included Karnataka's Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Dinesh Gundu Rao, who attended to hear findings and discuss how to support safer, inclusive medication systems. Prominent officials like Dr. H. Basavanagowdappa, Vice Chancellor of JSS AHER, and Dr. B. Manjunatha, Registrar, shared valuable insights. Representatives from Export Japan Inc. and Deloitte Tomatu Financial Advisors explained how accessible technology can help. JSS researchers and 13 visually impaired community members from JSSPDA shared real-life experiences. The discussion was led by Dr. Sri Harsha Chalasani. The IMPACT-VIP project has surveyed over 500 visually impaired individuals across Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana to understand challenges in medicine use. This briefing marks an important step toward turning evidence into practical solutions for India’s healthcare system, said JSS College of Pharmacy in a press release.
