From Imitator to Innovator: Globalization of Healthcare and Life Sciences
India has long been recognized as an emerging leader of innovation in the life sciences and healthcare delivery models. However, some argue that its true potential in R&D of new drugs and vaccines for global health problems has yet to be reached and progress in domestic healthcare delivery is just beginning.

How can governments and business collaborate to lead India towards becoming a global player in innovative medicines and provide accessible and affordable healthcare delivery models to its citizens?
