Disease has always been a great challenge for human beings, especially in modern society. In modern society, many new diseases emerge one after another, such as cancer and other diseases. Facing these diseases, human beings are very vulnerable. The most common form of treating diseases is drugs, but the more intractable diseases, the more expensive these drugs are. Once many people from poor families get sick, facing high drug prices is tantamount to waiting for death. But India has done a good job in drug research and development and production. Why does it become a world pharmacy when the industry is relatively depressed?
First, a poor and backward economy.
India's per capita income is not high, especially for low-income groups. If they are seriously ill, they simply can't afford the high medical expenses. So the Indian government supports many domestic pharmaceutical companies to copy important drugs, such as anti-tumor drugs, thus solving the problem that many people can't afford drugs. Generic drugs are not only cheap, but also the key efficacy is not much different from the genuine ones, so low-priced and high-quality drugs have become life-saving drugs for many poor patients. Therefore, India supports imitation in view of the domestic consideration of people's income.
Second, the continuous efforts of Indian leaders.
After India's independence, because it had been a British colony before, the patent law enacted by Britain made the domestic drug price in India very expensive. Under the protection of this patent law, many drugs in India need to be imported at a high price, and many people die after getting sick because they can't afford drugs. Faced with the situation that citizens have no money to buy medicine, leaders know that if the patent law is not reformed, they will only watch more people die. 1962, Bhai mohan singh founded a pharmaceutical factory. Later, they took aim at a tranquilizer produced in Switzerland, which was not protected because it was not patented in India.
Therefore, the singer brothers are going to imitate this tranquilizer. Later 1969, this drug went on the market, and the pharmaceutical factory founded by the two brothers once became popular because of its low price. Later 1970, the government issued a new patent protection law. With the support of the law, more generic drug companies have appeared in India, and cheap and good generic drugs have also appeared in the market. Compared with genuine drugs, these drugs have obvious price advantages. Not only did the local people in India benefit, but many poor people went to India to buy generic drugs to save lives.

Although India's industry is underdeveloped, the government supports generic drugs, so there are so many generic drug companies in India. Drug patents should be respected, but what should be respected more is life. Although Indian generic drugs do not attach importance to patents, they have saved many lives and families and have lofty humanitarianism.
