Thousand Oaks: Amgen has announced a USD 650 million expansion of its U.S. manufacturing network, creating hundreds of new jobs.

The planned investment will support increased drug production at the company's biologics manufacturing facility in Juncos and integrate advanced technologies throughout the operations process. It is expected to create nearly 750 jobs, including construction roles and new highly skilled manufacturing jobs.

"This expansion underscores Amgen's commitment to U.S. biomanufacturing and to strengthening the resilience of our global supply chain," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer at Amgen. "By growing our capacity to deliver innovative medicines with cutting edge technology in our manufacturing plants, we will not only better serve patients but also create high-quality jobs that reinforce America's leadership in biotechnology."

"Amgen's multimillion-dollar expansion reflects a bond of mutual loyalty: Amgen's sustained investment and Puerto Rico's skilled, resilient workforce reinforcing each other over time," said Puerto Rico Governor Jenniffer González Colón. "This new expansion not only strengthens U.S. supply chain security through reshoring, it also opens new horizons for our people as we build an innovation ecosystem that positions Puerto Rico as the strongest biopharmaceutical hub in the United States."

"Puerto Rico boasts more than 60 years of expertise and excellence in the biopharmaceutical sector, supported by highly skilled talent and world-class infrastructure," said Sebastián Negrón Reichard, Puerto Rico Secretary of the Department of Economic Development and Commerce. "This investment by Amgen is a testament to how committed we are to advancing a competitive and innovative ecosystem that allows global companies to grow and prosper in Puerto Rico."

This announcement builds on Amgen's recent investments, including a $600 million science and innovation center in California and manufacturing expansions of $900 million in Ohio and $1 billion in North Carolina, respectively.

GBC Pharmacy added to SeNaSa case

Santo Domingo.- The National Convergence against Social Security Theft and the Primero Justicia Foundation filed a formal request with the Attorney General’s Office to include ARS Senasa, GBC Pharmacy, its owner Reymon Rodríguez, and former Superintendents Jesús Feris Iglesias and Miguel Ceara Haton in the ongoing embezzlement investigation.

Santo Domingo.- The National Convergence against Social Security Theft and the Primero Justicia Foundation filed a formal request with the Attorney General’s Office to include ARS Senasa, GBC Pharmacy, its owner Reymon Rodríguez, and former Superintendents Jesús Feris Iglesias and Miguel Ceara Haton in the ongoing embezzlement investigation. The case involves alleged fraud totaling around 41 billion pesos in the State Health Insurance (ARS) system.

Surun Hernández, spokesperson for the groups, criticized the lack of action by the Public Ministry nearly a year after the investigations began, highlighting the involvement of politically connected individuals. The request calls for preventive detention, freezing of bank accounts, and additional investigative measures. Hernández also questioned the rapid expansion of GBC Pharmacy, which grew from 50 to 188 branches in less than three years, suggesting it may have benefited from embezzled funds.

The civil groups stressed that the fraud affects 7.5 million insured members, not just ARS Senasa, and demanded swift and decisive action against all those responsible for the alleged misappropriation of funds, including high-profile political and business figures.

FMGE: NMC to close application window for eligibility certificates

New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) will close the application process for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) Eligibility Certificates.

New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) will close the application process for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) Eligibility Certificates.

The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) Screening Test will soon be scheduled in the coming months by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). Therefore, the candidates must possess the EC issued by the NMC to apply for the Screening Test, as per the specified requirements. All the concerned candidates can apply on the official website of NMC.

The FMGE screening test is conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) for Indian nationals or Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) with foreign medical qualifications.

In an earlier issued notice, the NMC mentioned that candidates need to submit an online application form by 30th September 2025, till 06:00 PM.

To view the NMC notice, click on the link below:

https://medicaldialogues.in/pdf_upload/nmc-opens-online-applications-for-eligibility-certificate-for-fmge-2025-apply-now-299503.pdf

Steps To Apply For FMGE EC 2025:

Step 1: Visit the official NMC website.

Step 2: Go to the ‘FMGE Eligibility Certificate 2025’ application link.

Step 3: Register using your details and create login credentials.

Step 4: Fill in the application form with personal, academic, and qualification details.

Step 5: Upload the required documents (passport, MBBS degree, ID proof, etc.).

Step 6: Pay the application fee online.

Step 7: Submit the form and download a copy for future reference.

The notice also further informed that the applicants can make enquiries about the status of the Eligibility application at the NMC official email; however, while making such enquiries, all the candidates are requested to invariably provide their File Tracking Number, which was generated while submitting the application to NMC for issuance of the Eligibility Certificate. It may please be noted that no response will be sent to the candidate in the absence of a File Tracking Number. An advisory is also attached for the guidance of the applicants.

Accordingly, all candidates are requested to submit an application after conducting due diligence and checking the requisite entries scrupulously before submitting the application. The candidates who have already submitted an application for issuance of the Eligibility Certificate to NMC in the past need not apply again.

Meanwhile, it has also been observed on previous occasions that various mistakes are made by the candidates while applying for the EC. The following are suggested measures to avoid mistakes-

1 The applications should preferably be filled out by the candidate themselves and should ideally avoid a proxy for making applications for EC.

2 The candidates are also advised to keep their documents handy before filling application for EC; it would be ideal if the entries to be made are verified vis-à-vis entries in the original documents.

3 The candidates should provide their active mobile numbers so that alerts/deficiencies can reach them directly for rectification to obviate any delay in rectification. It may also be ensured that once the deficiency is conveyed, only the deficiency should be rectified by the respective candidate as expeditiously as possible to avoid last last-minute rush.

4 Candidates shall scrupulously check entries and ensure conformity with the details in the original documents to ensure quick processing/approval of applications if otherwise eligible.

Public Health warns about health risks during the rains

The Ministry of Health recommended that the population take the necessary preventive measures to avoid illnesses caused by the recent rains across the country.

It explains that, due to the accumulation of water and improper food handling or consumption of contaminated water, cases of dengue, leptospirosis, and acute diarrheal disease (ADD), among others, could increase.

The Health Agency emphasized that during the rainy season, there may be an increase in acute respiratory illnesses and epidemics. In this regard, people need to follow local recommendations for both prevention and treatment if they develop symptoms.

Authorities recommend drinking only potable water and avoiding water from unknown sources. They reminded everyone that, if potable water is unavailable, it must be purified by boiling, filtering, or applying 5 drops of chlorine per gallon and letting it sit for 30 minutes. This eliminates contaminants, reducing the risk of illness and health problems.

For domestic water storage, the Ministry recommends applying chlorine to the water stored in tanks using a clean cloth, spreading the chlorine evenly on the walls at the same level as the water, and keeping them covered to prevent the reproduction of mosquito larvae and, consequently, the spread of diseases such as dengue fever.

It also recommends washing and keeping kitchen utensils clean, eating safe foods and storing them properly, washing canned food before opening it, washing fruits and vegetables thoroughly, avoiding contact with contaminated water or animal feces, and avoiding exposure to factors that can cause leptospirosis.

Remind the public to consistently wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after using the bathroom, before eating, and before handling food.

Likewise, use tissues when sneezing to prevent the spread of flu viruses.

Proper waste disposal is also essential. Do not place garbage bags on the sidewalks during rain; instead, place them in containers or wait for the garbage trucks to arrive.

It instructs people not to self-medicate. Suppose they experience fever, diarrhea, vomiting, respiratory illness, or general malaise, among other symptoms. In that case, they should immediately go to the nearest health center, as it is properly stocked with the necessary supplies, equipment, and medications to address any eventuality.

In that same order, he urges maintaining special care with risk groups such as the elderly, people with chronic diseases and mental health disorders, and people with disabilities.

The health agency urges the population to adopt these measures and stay informed through official sources, such as the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET) and the Emergency Operations Center (COE).
