Access to medicines is a universal right. This documentary, with the testimonies of experts in health and legal issues, explains why India has become a world leader in the manufacture of generic drugs and follows the legal and social process of, The Gliveec Case, where Novartis took the Indian government to Court in a dispute over the granting of a patent for this drug which treats cancer. The judgment found in favour of the Indian Government earlier this year (2013).
This film documents the seven year legal battle, including first hand interviews with people involved in this case, which gives the documentary a unique relevance.
Finance: ACCDand City Council of Barcelona.
Typical western mentality start the video showing old Delhi, look how crowded and filthy their capital is imagine rest of the country keep repeating the same throughout the video. Even the color tone of the whole documentary is gloomy and depressing even for city like Mumbai where it is sunny almost throughout the year, by accident ? Do not think so.
With addition of bongo bongo music !
Its a spot on! They only show slums and crowded places in documentaries about India.
Ikr 😂
totally agree, and i don't see the purpose of showing streets, in the first place
I want real india, hungry india pour india 😋 U know 😌 it's not going anywhere ! But don't worry 21st century is for INDIA , enjoy western idiocracy and lack of knowledge about us
India is home to some very clever and insightful people. Congratulations to them on such an important victory ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A good government is supposed to be like India, try to protect the public's interests. even for laws is served for the public, not just for some monopolies.
I do hope that china would also have more such researchers and famous people fight for the public, not just receiving the money from Western big companies and serve them.
Griten Goyary Not at all and I am very welcome for your comment! I would like to recommend you to go to visit China in the future. I come from a small town in south China, and when I first go to visit Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, I can't express how develop the cities are. I used to go to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, but none of the city is like Chinese city, full of energy and people are looking forward. You can feel it when you are wandering around.
Of course, I would say there are still a lot of people in poor, but which country could be perfect? Surely the Chinese government is trying to resolve this problem. However, sometimes not all the officers are as wise as the central government and these lower level officer would sometimes spoiled the system.
One last thing, I feel that China is actually a highly capitalised country coated with the communist. As a famous saying from Deng Xiao Ping, whatever the color of the cat, the best is the one who can catch the mouse:)
This century is for India and China.
+jack night How right you are. I;m from the west, we are going down hill. China and India (or so I believe) are not going to be screwed over by the various TTIP/TTSP/etc trade agreements.
+Griten Goyary How come Communism is all about poor people?
i agree wit u yan
Thank you India for saving my life!!!!!
It's not just developing countries that benefit from low cost medicines, but also the West. The UK's NHS relies upon low priced import of generics especially from India, otherwise it's annual medicine bill of £13 billion could easily triple.
+munsifghalib Its not also not only the developing countries that are hurt by the trade agreement, the people in the West are hit just as hard. It's a couple dozen companies, usually owned by the same couple of famillies that profit billions and billions of dollars. Now it's easy to hate on the US, because they are not alone in this, but the US government IS the powerhouse behind the trade agreement.
That guy the last said it best, you can patent and monopolize when its luxury items , but when it comes to life and death of people, all these laws should be thrown out of the window, because all the laws are for the people. Laws shouldn't be like North Korea where laws meant for sugjugation of people and mass killing of people.
Ahem ahem .....China too
I wonder why such videos dont get million or billion views

Let them to go to hell or hang themselves. Humanism is above all when it comes life & death.
absolutely, the patent brands for sure
The first dislike is probably by Novartis. They were hammered by Indian Supreme Court. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Amazing documentary which not only has awaken the sense of equality in me, but also a will of pursuing Pharmacy as my career and helping the people in developing countries to have access to affordable, significant medicines.
Best of luck, Michael Magone.
go for it
Thanks, your efforts will be appreciated for developing countries
U words are what I exactly feel. Thanks.
Good thought.
Based Indian pharma. Generics are great. The US medical industry and the multinational pharma industry are definitely not for the people. It's pretty disgusting that they even allow marketing of medications via TV ads etc in the US. The way it's meant to work is that you have an illness, and the doctor diagnoses you and prescribes a treatment with informed consent, NOT "see a TV ad, diagnose yourself then convince the doctor of your symptoms and ask the doctor to try that medication". If it's indicated for treatment of that illness, the doctor probably won't argue too much, as long as it's not inappropriate for the patient. That's what the pharma companies are counting on. India, as with any place, has its issues, but I'm impressed with their attitude towards multinational pharma parasites.
People's power! Respect the Indian Judiciary
I'm from Afghanistan but I loove Indian people!
@Soph Wright haha yea =)
@Somack Hi Somack!
Yeah you guessed correctly! I'm a afghan girl.
Good question. Unfortunately women and girls in Afghanistan don't have freedom :(. As a girl in Afghanistan you have to listen to your husbent/father. You don't have freedom to chose for your own life and if you don't do so people will talk bad behind you. But now it is better than before.
Womens freedom is diffrent and it depends to from which ethnic groups someone are. For example the pashtons don't allows their women to educate ..etc, but women from other ethnic groups such as tajiks or hazara have more freedom ( it also depends on their family )
To sum up women in Afghanistan don't have freedom becouse of some wrong beliefs that people have. Society in Afghanistan is male dominated.
I hope some day will be peace in Afghanistan😕!
(Sorry for my grammar mistakes and I hope you got answer to your question)
Best regards 🌹🌹
Man, i swear
The opening clip. Thats the only place people film everytime in India
And..... it all started with good old BBC
The BBC getting the BBC in its rear right now 🤣

LOL! So how did Novartis' "boycott" of India work out for them?
International media only shows slum, poverty, and bla bla... however, they forget to showcase other side. Yes we have many issues and we are trying our best to get rid of without harming anyone and also showing generosity towards others. Thats it. Like it or hate it. Thats my India.
From World's Most Expensive Medicines to becoming World's most Affordable Generic Medicines, Appreciate those who made this out this far.... Jai Hind 🇮🇳❣️
Sign the treaties carefully, India
21:48 The most important point I feel. R&D costs are not only compensated well but overcompensated which counters the argument of such high prices of medication.
Well R&D is just another way of avoiding taxes for big pharmas
Best and great documentary ever.
UA-cam recommended me on the correct occasion when wolrd is sufering from corona and india is shiiping vaccine free of cost to world.
Lot have changed in these 7 years. From 23rd to currently 4th powerful country in the world, the journey was not easy but adventurous
Jai hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
U must Watch this Video 1 year old video "How INDIA saved the world from A Pandemic" video too ua-cam.com/video/3fHf8TMqLYw/v-deo.html
It's About HlV & How Western world sue India when many of Foreign countries thinking of importing Best quality still Low cost Medicinal Drugs from India!!!
PS:- India has Already Gifted/Donated free Vaccines to 70+ countries until now under Vaccine Maitri mission!!!
4th in Asia and 14th in world..was 8th in the world 7 years ago..yes..a lot of things have changed
How many unrelated slum footage would you like?
Director : Yes
These music... Western media lose their mind when they make video on india 🙄
This should be made in to court drama movie. Is any writer listening to this?
This could be an oscar worthy court drama. Common man vs pharmaceutical Monopoly
How come news like that does not get the world attention?
Why this foreign channel always add this ancient tune
This foreign channel have very typical old thinking about Indian
this is the best documentary I have ever seen
These people will always go the worst places to shoot videos. Always try to make the image of India as bad as possible in minds of people living out of India. Even the people giving interview are in dark rooms.
Alpha 242 you must be dumb ........
the video makers are racist that's why they show poor side. It makes them feel superior. Fools
Sabyasachi Datta you are seeing half glass empty.....u r a negative minded person
@@s.d.966 don't argue with village idiot. You're wasting your time, my friend.
It's a typical style employed by BBC in the early days and now copied by every western media when it comes to showing India. No matter what the documentary is about, the intro will always be dirty roads and unclean surroundings, the whole documentary will be interspersed with this gloomy picture.
Just trying to make their viewers feel good themselves. At least the ignorant ones will fall for it
Who is the top priorty? The people or the minority who tried desperately to rip the needy off with a total disregard of their well being and right. All global pharmaceutical companies are making huge profit out of their immoral trades. Why the people as a whole should yield to their greedy demand?
Yes. Let's top them in their immoral trades and prevent them from making medicines any longer. We've had enough of them investing in R&D and using their brains to come up with medications. No longer.
IN MY COUNTRY PAKISTAN 75% MEDICINE IN INDIA ALL GOVT HOSPITAL MEDICINE INDIAN PHARMA COMPANY GENRIC MEDICINE
No, this isn't socialism.
When we talk about a socialist country, we speak of nations that want to abolish any and all forms of capitalism. Ultimately, the economy of that country is threatened, and dictators end up taking power.
A proper country needs to be both capitalist and socialist. The common man should be allowed rights to own their properties and sell them, but the govt should ensure that capitalism doesn't end up exploiting the customers with sky-high prices either.
The above incident is an ideal example of times when India function like an ideal economy.
Very true bro.... 👍
Bakunin said it best, 'Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.'
india is somewhat free market . we are okay with companies making money as long as it is not making divisions in the country . like except a few industries , India is privatized . Modi is trying to improve free healthcare . He is thinking of NHS and even the green bill and what not . this Modi is the most right wing guy we had and even he is telling such stuff means india is like that . all those useless socialist stuff will be channeled for this NHS I guess .
Hats off to the Indian Government a balanced approach that seems rational, great to see
What the hell is wrong with India map in background.Its like somebody cropped J&K.
it is topography map, not a political map.
Not only j&k but utarakhand also not visible it's a topographical map
We need a version of this law in the US.
As an indian i can assure you that your wish will be wish.. politics is all about that. Big pharma is even pressuring us to stop this. But thanks to our people’s law govt will fall within days if they mess up any laws like this. We indians blocks highways of big cities and stop economy in response to any threat to ourselves
all In and out roads of delhi were blocked for entire year in 2019. Until govt surrendered people dig roads and stopped movement 😂 we say “ india progress because of strong community even with weak government and China progress because of strong govt with weak community “
so even if Novartis quits India , it doesn't really matter... because the 0.01% people who could afford it will be able to procure it anyways.
and if Novartis doesn't file a patent in India, the Indian pharma company can freely make generic drugs.
Well Novartis is back at it again
Novartis got clapped in India by indian supreme court.
Stop using that background music ffs
Norvatis thought they may manipulate the Indian laws, but honestly, Indians anticipated it and that's why the word efficacy was used. We have the world's largest ambiguous constitution and, these ambiguous terms help the judges to bring in their acumen and give judgments that provide justice and not just order.
these days, the world is in desperate need of unbiased judges who look out for the people by actually dispensing justice.
It is a very nice documentary, shedding lots of insights in the pharmacy industry. But rather I want to make a comment on the places of the video, India is a poor country, we agree, but this video shows only the poorest places, and poor people. I didn't see a single minute of nice and wealthy place or people. Pl just don't show India as the poorest country, show the other side of India which is rich, intelligent, and smart
Shridi K,
What do you mean the "rich" part of India?
The Truth Am guessing he means Mumbai vis-a-vis Patna ,just like New York and Chicago
The US in movies and news is only Manhattan and LA. The wealthiest parts.
In case of India, they only show the overcrowded medieval era marketplaces in Delhi, or the Dharavi slum in Mumbai.
Sharat Sasidharan because they want to feel happy looking at others in misery. They, like ostriches with their heads buried in sand, shall never look at Detroit.
They already showed the "rich" part ....... The intellectual people in the documentary , the whole thought that went into the laws for drugs , it's stubbornness to deny going down under pressure by multinationals , to safeguard its citizens life and right . That's so we need .
CONGRATULATIONS INDIA... I am proud of you and your laws regarding this cause. Many, many heartfelt appreciations to all the people concerned in this fight to uphold the health of the commoners !!!
Salute
One striking contrast I observed in this documentary. While all the experts talking look suave and well to do, general public is always depicted in dilapidated condition. It don''t understand their aesthetics. India is not this much black and white.
Super like the video but all shots showing India are too stereotyped. They are portraying India as poor like only India has poor people and there is no upscale place in India.
simple and superbly explained by all the participants
Foreign media lets show indian slums = whole India 🤦♂️
Indian pharma is already ruling the roost i foresee it helming a higher level in the present scenario, inshallah 👍🤔

it is very knowledgeable and it explains the role of India as the pharmacist of the poor of India and there world
Consumers should avoid fat companies which are always against poor people. I always support small companies and start ups
One of the best documentaries I've seen. Admire the creators for putting up a noble cause so effectively!
These people are gems in their field, pranaam
I need humira if I go India can I buy there
Sir, the biosimilar is called Adalimumab, it costs about 100 pounds, very very expensive. If you have any Indian friends returning, you should ask them to buy this injection. I am surprised why only Cadila manufactures this drug, kind of monopoly.
Available in UK itself, www.nhs.uk/medicines/adalimumab/#:~:text=All%20versions%20of%20adalimumab%20are,joints%20and%20skin%20(psoriatic%20arthritis)

Incredible India!

Watch Dallas Buyers Club
Proud be an indian
Sadly Mr D G Shah passed away in 2019. What a contribution he made to the country and world in general!
That's the culture....Live and let others live
HEALTH will never be found in drugs and profits.
I agree on the profit part, but if you honestly think drugs have no place in overcoming illness, you're more than welcome to not accept anesthesia, antibiotics, cardiac meds etc if you ever find yourself in need of surgery.
The Last Rolling ten fifteen minutes of da video to 26:00 . were such nail-biting moments, i just had experienced for the 1st. time in my entire life. So intertwined with the case i feel like i m the one there transformed into the case Itself. THANKS god :SHAMBHOW: Otherwise The Screen was not alone to turned in Dark Tonight But My World Too$
In India traditionally 'education' and 'medicine' was never charged. It changed after europeans colonised India.
Come out of slavery buddy, They have left us nothing but poverty n hunger stage. We left to straving and die when there is nothing left to loot
Indian democracy ruled by Constitution of India not by Constitution of muricca.
Documentary is very good, I just want to say your stock footages about India are too old, looks like 90s, come and get some new stock footages of our cities.

lovely guys work hard & smart as you can...& make india proud ..Everytime..
Bruh introduce a new law which says unless the new medicine/form is 10-20% better than the last form you don't get a patent
Anand Grover also led the legal fight to decriminalize homosexuality in India. Love the fact that people like him fight for the people.
"In the interest of Public Health' is the coin statement, taken in consideration if, earning with apt profits is possible. why to be greedy? a great documentary , an eye opener, its a MOVEMENT to be raised by every individual on the globe.
very well pointed with references.
sincere thanks.
WTH I haven't seen any cycle rikshaw here in maharashtra since my birth and they are showing it as symbol of India (ageold western mindset)
I just got a consignment of 1600 grams of Modalert, how the fuck it got past the Customs, I will never know, but it did,
The lawyer is pissed that novartis didn't pay him
Stereotypical music
US and UK and AUSTRALIA ... all Continents must be thankful to India for its efforts to curb the nuissance of Monopolistic Phama Manufacturers.
People are people... and must have a right to deserve the proper healthcare system. Infact the Western Countries must take a look in it as some Capitalistic are not just charging exhorbitant prices but literally extorting money. Please share this video and help everyone .. May be some Goverment might wake to this example.
👍
Now we have achieved rank 4 in medical tourism.
India is on the way 🤟
What’s up with playing generic Bollywood music over every scene like playing tabla and flute music while showing manufacturing of medicines in a factory. Just can’t seem to get rid of the stereotypes can you ‽
do not allow american MNC in india or else you will be sold
This is not full India, it's only a part of undeveloped area in Delhi which is shown....It's a vast country, development is different at different states
Why did the producers have to emphasize the Indian poverty so flagrantly in their video? Was there a point to it? Was it to get the sympathies of the audience? If that was so I do not think it worked. I believe you should state your case dispassionately and let the devil take the hindmost.
Consumers should avoid fat companies which are always against poor people. I always support small companies and start ups
This is a great topic to cover. Please post more like this in the future. Excellent!!!
Was the rejection of the Glivec patent application in 2006 the first time section 3(d) was used? Thank you in advance.
i do not think so
S a m u e l // チル no it wasn't. But it was the first time the law was challenged in the court.
I live in a tourist hot spot but guess what there are a lot of pharma industry here some even phizer........😎......like it's everywhere
Watch fire in the blood documentary. It show the menace of drugs companies
Ok the guy on the cover of this page looked like a broken down Keanu Reeves.
Respect, Love, and thank you for bringing equality and showing these greedy pharmaceutical monopolies. Hope US government learn from this and do the same.
Really good provision by 3D. When it comes to life saving drugs, then definitely the balance is very much required. I hope other countries wpild eventually agree on this on make this universal.
Its been a nice video made for understanding many things..
this is the best documentary I have ever seen
if the big pharma companies use a digital platform like an ERP to capture their costs on R&D and such ERP's are in turn, audited by government approved auditors then both the government and the companies can have a more data based understanding of true costs of R&D.
But there is bigger question of how much and what regulations should be in place for the pharmaceutical industry since it is a vital industry that has a direct impact on the lives of people. Maybe the government should start their own labs and fund R&D for all diseases and then once a drug has been invented, only manufacturing and distribution should be given to corporations.
just compensate the loses of indian pharma company and in return own a part of that patent and buy from the companies to sell it in govt hospitals . that is better than govt having labs .
Perfect example showing justice and resilience and role of people building their society and taking a stand against injustice ...
2:28 Please tell the respected gentleman to update the map of India to the correct one.
Vivek Shinde why the fuck he using that map 🙄
That map is based on plains depicting green area..mountainous area is in white
OK. Thank you for the info.
YA, it is topography map, not a political map.
Modi bhagat always produce shit.... stupiditooooooo
i wonder why there was no counter-view or soundbytes from the other side of the table added in this documentary.
[also, what's with the canned shots of our town appearing as if they were filmed in the 70s 80s.. like the Agra shots, out of context]
personally, having briefly studies process patent versus product patents back in 2000-2001, i realised how the likes of the Khorakiwalas (Wockhardt) or Yusuf Hamieds (Cipla) had pioneered to be the real buccaneers
using every tool 'nd trick in the book or simply being defiant and brash.. the big brats were reverse engineering (abusing the process patent regime we had then) and selling the formulations as generics with some tweaks in the compounds/ derivatives or the ratios!
yes, it did help the masses, but those were not the only goals or the nobility claimed by the pirates was not just justified by that alone.
The had running enterprises (Yusuf got Cipla from his father and being half European anyway.. also got relevant education in Europe) and the excuses of making life saving medicines affordable was
a saleable argument to make for the profits and expansion of their own top-line!
it helps that media sells its soul and goes with the tide.. sometimes chiding sometimes writing paeans of praise on the same side of the argument.
take for example the slutty Times Group in Bharat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhārat_Gaṇarājya or the equivalent NYT
nytimes.com/2000/12/01/world/selling-cheap-generic-drugs-india-s-copycats-irk-industry.html
nytimes.com/2011/09/19/health/policy/19drug.html
sadly the Indian FDA is almost a paper dragon or so it has been for most part.
thus the real risk to consumers, patients is about quality, adherence (or lack thereof) to GMP and in general the risk of contaminations and damage in the manufacturing, storage or logistical chains.
it was because of these lapse or goof-ups that the likes of Saudi Arabia at one point refused to accept Govt. administered polio vaccines (after a few cases of kids having suffered resurfaced)
as a nation, we have to seek the balance in quality and innovation.. currently we are more towards piggy-backing on the inventions or discoveries of others.. rather than doing something from grass-roots ourselves.
the value add is where the respectable and real merit is.. Cipla which joined hands with the Chinese (Biomab) to get a foothold into 𝕓𝕚𝕠𝕤𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕤 soon disassociated themselves (to chart their own course to compete with the likes of Biocon, Dr Reddys Labs, Lupin Pharma, Glenmark, Intas Biopharma).
basically, making them cheap by tweaking the processes or compound/ formulations may not be a viable strategy in itself for the long term.. seeing as we are
the dominance of the Chinese and others in doing the same (and oftentimes doing it better).
