To me,it is a surprise to see that IIT Madras receives patent for drug FOSEAL it is stated to be very useful for kidney diseases. Earlier treatment using aluminum hydroxide and calcium carbonate is already banned. It is gel-like drug
and there is no metal involved.

It was a project between doctors and engineers initiated by IIT-M. Last week ,the Government of India has not approved to start medical courses (MMBS) in IITs.

I feel the Govt. of India should allow IITs to start UG medical courses ,since it will avoid
to go to medical college for research assistance.
