Due to the relatively backward living environment and underdeveloped economic level in India, Indian people can enjoy the free medical system, but they need to pay their own medical expenses. In order to solve the problem of Indians taking medicine, India allows pharmaceutical companies to copy advanced drugs in the world.
Although this will be criticized by the patented drug countries, generic drugs have to continue to develop for the survival of the Indian people. 25 years after 1970, India cancelled drug patents and began to intervene in drug prices. 1995, India began to seize the international market, and Indian generic drugs continued to develop.
2. British pharmaceutical companies leave India.
In the early days, India and Britain had a very close relationship. Later, with the independence of India, the Indian government took over the British pharmaceutical companies in India, which also laid a solid foundation for Indian generic drugs.
The development of generic drugs in India did not happen overnight, but it took a long time to develop. Many people ask why China's generic drugs don't seem to have a big competitive advantage compared with India. It should be noted that although generic drugs are cheap, many biological experiments need to be done behind them. As long as all drugs need to be tested before they can enter the market, if they are developed within the patent period, they will be prosecuted by other countries. Therefore, due to various factors, China chose a more conservative way in drug manufacturing.
