How do local production capabilities in global generics and biosimilar industries impact on public health security challenges in India and African countries?

Aims

Generic and biosimilar medicines have the potential to lower the costs of drug treatments. 

However the increasing domination of the Indian and Chinese pharmaceutical industries over global generics and biosimilar production and supply, is raising concerns over the future of affordable healthcare in developing countries. 

This project will gather evidence which will inform policy and practice in African countries, and in India, to help secure the flow of affordable medicines to their healthcare systems.
