India can’t even make missiles, so why is its pharmaceuticals so advanced?

I believe many friends have watched the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" directed and starring Xu Zheng. This movie really reflects many real problems in China, and friends who watch the movie should also Everyone has discovered that although India's economy is not very good, the price of their medicines is relatively low, and even ordinary people can afford it. Of course, everyone has also discovered that India is indeed much more advanced than other countries in pharmaceuticals.

Nowadays, when many people judge a country, they will judge it from the military, industrial and technological aspects. In fact, the vigorous development of pharmaceuticals is also related to a country’s economic level, scientific research level, industrial level, etc. Hooked. We know that although India’s economic strength and military level cannot be compared with China, it is even more difficult to compare with developed countries such as the United States, because India cannot even manufacture its own missiles, but relies on imports or Technology is imported from other countries, but India's pharmaceutical technology is indeed far ahead of many countries.

There are tens of thousands of large and small pharmaceutical companies in India. From very basic to very difficult-to-treat cancer targeted drugs, there are really everything. Among all pharmaceutical manufacturers , their technologies are very mature, especially for the export of oncology drugs, ranking first in the world all year round. It is understood that the United States purchases 40% of its cancer-targeted drugs from India every year. Moreover, India has always encouraged its own pharmaceutical companies to imitate high-end drugs from other prosperous countries, as long as they are good for the people, and do not pay attention to so-called property rights obligations, etc.

Therefore, Indian pharmaceutical companies are making a lot of noise. Not only are their output extremely high, but their quality is also constantly improving. Counterfeit anti-cancer drugs are also at least ten times cheaper than genuine ones. Just like Gleevec made in Switzerland costs more than 20,000 yuan per box, while the one made in India only costs a few hundred yuan. The difference is dozens of times, but the results are the same.

This approach in India has also aroused dissatisfaction among many original manufacturers. They feel that the patents they have worked hard to develop for decades have been stolen by others. However, these issues do not need to be considered by Indian pharmaceutical companies. , because the Indian government will come forward to handle everything for them, these pharmaceutical companies only need to rest assured to manufacture lower-cost drugs and more effective drugs.
