Anti Retroviral Drugs

Facts with clear irony

India is top AIDS drug supplier, but its own poor can't afford it.Second-line treatment costs `4 - 6K per month. Yet, only a handful of patients are 'eligible' to get it for free. Even as India emerges as the leading supplier of AIDS medicines globally, patients in the country can barely afford their monthly treatments. India supplied over 80% of all AIDS medicines between 2002 and 2008 to four million people across African countries such as Congo, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria, and developing countries in South America, a recent study by the Journal of International AIDS Society revealed.

Convince Africa with Indian Generic Drugs



The Indian "role" for South Africa-
As a part of the 'Brand India Promotion' project, Pharmexcil had organised four events that included meeting of African Ambassadors in India, high-level delegation to Africa Health Ministers Conference in Ethiopia, Trade delegation to Southern African countries and Indo-Africa Pharma Business who met at Hyderabad in September 2009 last year.
The brand building programmes are part of the Indian government's aggressive campaign against the MNCs' propaganda against generic drugs in the African countries. It will be a major platform for the Indian pharma industry and the government to allay any fears among the African countries about the quality of Indian generic drugs.
