PHARMACY OF THE WORLD
WHY SHOULD IT REMAIN SO?

The Indian pharmaceutical industry (IPI) plays a significant role in handling global health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic. It is argued that despite India’s contribution to global access to medicines, the government of India has never tried to use this as an instrument of foreign policy. This is in contrast with China, which is reportedly using its own vaccine projects as a negotiating tool with countries who stand to benefit for meeting foreign policy objectives.
