Exposed - Indian Medical  Association or Marketing Association ???

Indian Medical Association (IMA) (http://www.ima-india.org) endorses various products like Eureka Forbes aqua guard purifier, Hindustan Unilever limited (HUL) pureit water purifier, odomos cream, dettol products ,Lizol,tropicana juice, Colgate tooth paste etc.

Logo from : http://www.logotypes101.com

but in IMA website, there is no information about the certificate , tests conducted for Eureka Forbes and other products that are endorsed by IMA.

As per bis.org , the fee for ISI /ISO certification is only around Rs. 10,000 to 20,000.

For Eureka Forbes with Rs.1,107 crore turnover, its not difficult for them to pay Rs.3 crore to Indian Medical Association to get the Endorsement.

Even, Indian Medical Association endorses PepsiCo's Tropicana pure juices and Quaker Oats in 2008 (for hefty payment of Rs.50 lakhs). However, objection by doctors, the endorsement is later withdrawn. Also, it leads to suspension of IMA President by Indian government . Bribe amount is about Rs.2.25 crores.

My Doubts:
1. Why its costs crores for getting Indian Medical Association endorsement ,whereas ISI / ISO certifications costs in Rs.10,000 only with lab tests?

2. Why Indian Medical Association did not publish any information about the tests conducted or the certificates issued details in its website.

3. Why I should not think that, these as pay and get endorsement / certifications. What's the need for getting fee in crores?

4. BIS specifies standards, lab test details in its website (for ISI / ISO certifications). Why Indian Medical Association doesn't provide any such details?


Remember, one of the trusted association which tests purifiers is WQA (Water Quality Association, USA). Only Phillips purifiers and Whirpool purifiers had received the top award WQL Gold seal  award out of all purifier companies in India.
