Affordable access to healthcare and medicines is the primary social aim in the developing countries. Healthy and clean environment is vital nutrient for good public health and enhanced quality of life. Article 25 of the United Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 (UDHR) elaborates “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and wellbeing of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.” Indian pharmaceutical sector occupies pioneer position in catering healthcare needs of the global community. Though pharmaceutical compounds are manufactured and used for beneficial purposes but along with such activities, they are releasing very toxic contaminants in the environment either directly or indirectly after chemical modifications. Major public health threat is posed by pollution from antibiotics manufacturing plants in India. The report of World Health Organization in 2014 on ‘Global Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance’ revealed that "Antibiotic resistance is no longer a prediction for the future; it is happening right now, across the world, and is putting at risk the ability to treat common infections in the community and hospitals”. Adequate disposal system and treatment of pharmaceutical waste will mobilize ecologically sustainable and healthy world. Present paper highlights the need to develop strategic approach which protects personal as well as social health.
