thanks for trying to thank you were to thank you wanted to thank you ok thank you thank you thanks for thanks for forty three one hundred thank you one hundred thank you one hundred thank you wanted to thank you lord. i.

led. mr nor lives with his wife and child in a five metre squared room in one of the most populated and poor neighborhoods in mumbai home to twenty million people and india's commercial and industrial.

sixteen years ago he moved here from the countryside seeking a better life. mr noor had the misfortune of facing two serious illnesses at the same time diabetes and leukemia. i have diabetes which used to constantly increase my doctor was worried and gave me injections but told me to do the c.b.c. examination which i did and learned that i have cancer. i fear for my family if i die i am the only one that works that is what worries me most everything else is in god's hands. he was diagnosed in two thousand and ten since then mr noor follows a specific treatment of vital importance to his survival.

every day at noon he has to take a four hundred milligram pill which ensures a better quality of life for him. with this medicine i feel good. for my body ached and when i got up i got dizzy. and now i feel good when i used to walk i got short of breath now i don't have that problem. the drug to which mr neuros has improving health goes under the generic name. it is a copy of glivec originally introduced in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia which greatly increased a patient's life expectancy. is

a breakthrough medicine for treatment of. chronic. what is just. as a magic bullet because it is genes that we. will be for in the future. on this. read. more than ten years is no. magic bullet which changed the life of thousands of cancer patients around the world contains a substance called. in order to develop the substance decades of research and public institutions were

needed. the researchers discovered a common element in all patients namely a shift in the genetic material of their d.n.a. . two different genes from two different chromosomes were coalescing by mistake. producing an enzyme that causes an uncontrollable increase in white blood cell count up to twenty five times higher than normal but. having found the cause the researchers invented a weapon. they created. which aims directly at the targets and inhibits this action. deviously used. thank you. but you had

a drug that actually. causing problems so they decided it was basically done by public apps and public money the problem really was taking the drug from the lab to the market and that's what. imaginable is the life saving substance for patients with my lord leukemia that is contained in glivec the drug tests. the exact same active substance can also be found it's called generic drugs like the not which is produced by moscow one of india's the largest pharmaceutical companies. product is good and people want to. go to

a system of trial and regulatory scrutiny which i luvs us to get periods and this product so indistinguishable and they're the same and the patient who takes our product takes no what this product we had at the same thing because but. both the original and the copy of the drug are equally effective. but they are also divided by a great difference the price believe our product is sold in india hundred twenty thousand rupees which is about four hundred dollars per month at the peak and the in internet if. you have a retail price of two hundred dollars but good discount we give it to patient on hundred fifty dollars two hundred sixty.

the great price difference between the two drugs is a matter of life and death for india's poor since about thirty percent of the population lives below the poverty line surviving on less than two dollars a day. i work in a shop where i polish gold. my wife works at home sewing clothes center earning one thousand to two thousand rupees per month my wage was raised reaching now six thousand rupees about one hundred ten dollars a month i got a raise because i am ill and so we try to manage. with this family income barely reaching one hundred fifty dollars mr nor is unable to buy

even the cop even for two hundred dollars. glivec itself costs two thousand four hundred dollars. i get their money i also had something and sold my jewelry and my daughter. as well. and i gathered five thousand trapeze from the money for the green grocer. with the twenty rupees he gives me for food i don't eat and keep them as well. i can't do anything i'll leave it in god's hands god once i can't do anything. if the generic didn't exist mr man would not have survived.

he says incense sticks for the temples and his wife packs jewelry. the family income does not exceed seven thousand rupees or about one hundred forty dollars a month. if they had to buy the original glivec it would cost them one of the half their annual salary. one hundred twenty five thousand rupees is a huge amount. and like me there are many who can't pay it can't buy it i believe that the drugs that do good should not stop being made. to build. anything

mission to teach creation why it should care about humans. this is why you should. be elusive search for justice should individuals including government officials be legally held to account for starting aggressive. is it fair to. be given immunity from prosecution if they are not held accountable. responsible. but. we're going to go did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albums. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been a hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by

destroying what our founding fathers once it's all just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion on the critical issues facing america bought the book deal ready to join the movement then walk a little bit harder. if you need to with these economic ups and downs in the final months days belong to the deal sang i and the rest because i was doing the take it will be everything we can all to.

plug. the. leak. one of the wonderful strong arm in a lot of these major news all the face tigers are right between both. a pleasure to have you with us here today.

when a state grants a patent or gives a patent certificate to a company for its product it guarantees the company's monopoly for certain period of time which is usually twenty years. in this way it is believed that the company gets compensated for the innovation that contributed. however the indian state has not paid in for glivec allowing the distribution of exact copies on the market. for that reason in two thousand and six. the indian state launching

a landmark legal battle. this battle was so important that it could affect the access to affordable lifesaving drugs for billions of people worldwide. giving. trees. we played for a patent in india the patent was applied for but was rejected and the waters of course wanted to see how innovation be valued in india so we are fighting the battle to get a patent in india to be more like opening the doors the floor of the fort which india has bowed before which we have

to do with the doors will be open for all these corporates to go ahead and explode on the same lines other drugs before the same suit the other companies will go ahead and say ok if they were being granted then on the scene grounds we should also be granted. no vargas claims that it started this great legal battle just so that it's paid and gets recognition and the circulation of generics will not be at risk in the future there's no question that if delivered is drawn to the patent be a big barrier against all kinds of general products i don't see the logic of it at all and in fact you should ask the people who are telling you to explain that logic to you basic to go to court and block a number of genetic companies on a number of different don't know why this is made that this has nothing to do with monopoly or the pricing going skyrocket if it is not the case and way fine in the

case. if that is not the case. go back to your office and start working for the benefit of the society while you do best in your time in the ports i. thought he was. hiv positive and a member of an activist group that fights for access to cheap medicines. he remembers the time before generics entered the antiretroviral drugs market when aids treatment cost almost ten thousand dollars a month. now it costs less than two hundred fifty dollars to two forty dollars per month to put company which is giving it its making profit although it is not giving it for free i is not giving it no profit no loss also it is making a profit out of it and good enough profit. to its employees for them it's very easy to see that all the drugs are not available but for us if if you don't pick one

drug no a favorite of ours vidas it starts to replicate so for me it's a matter of life and. self-sufficiency was central to the political philosophy of independent india's patriarch mahatma gandhi who believed of his country did not need western technology in order to be independent on clothes food or medicines.

the government's policy dating back. was that india should be self-sufficient in the production of food and medicine. and not only did he have no patent system he had a patent system that said you could not medicine. this philosophy was ingrained in india's legal framework on peyton's which resulted in the highly important one thousand nine hundred seventy act for patients. thank. you. introduction of the nineteen seventy bit and it was only the. applications which will not. lead to a simple you know an applicant has invented it paul says. making it but it. didn't mention is denying in the bull's eye it's. only

the book. not the burden. this policy provided the opportunity for great local generics industry to be developed in order to cater for the great need of the local population which totals almost one point two billion people. i think you know needed i think we thought. the benefit of having patent window could have bored down the cost of medicine to the point of death so basically what invest said was that because companies like d.s.p. pfizer and apple pricing the drugs too high in the air in the sixty's in new chemists needed to be needed to set up facilities where we could make the drugs ourselves and these are public sector facilities because the government and they basically sort of not sure an industry into making the drugs that they needed for

themselves but of course the moment the industry started to grow other developing countries and u.n. agencies and m.s.f. doctors access to the drugs from the very same source so it benefited of course you know for example india's malaria t.v. program but it also benefited patients outside of india. as a result india became the greatest global power in the production of generic drugs and at the same time protected its population and financial interests. and india is the frog. two of the words of medicines today medicines and a.b.c. and today it is made in india is sold in the us so when you get up the soil enough tickets sold in south america and generics probably make up sixty seventy percent no longer want to make up seventy percent of the. medicine so business will fear of what you might call the quality of the medicine i think the concerns about they

they didn't aches from the fact that because of the lowered pulse some people suspect the lower standards were no examples of drugs from because the needs. of drugs i think have to be to cold because we found that there were some problems with quality some boxes that were not so. good and so on so if you have a system in place that you have to re mechanism that guarantees that your drugs are of good quality then they're more to cure the actual active ingredient that the drug cause doesn't really come with the pot and when you swallow your appeal you don't swallow also. the trade name like nobody's or i don't like other company files that we just sort of this particular chemical molecule that will kill your body to fight infection or out of a disease everyday glittery authority or any of these bigger countries they come to the factory before the three of them licenses example enough actually we had the us

if to get. approval to have german approved we have a pool from greece to be sent to the to do so selling a product in greece we have people from australia so that it is a system where all regulatory authorities don't take chances they all come and make sure the proposition because those in place will lead then the ilo. thank.

outside of mumbai's counselor hospitals the patient's relatives come for months on end. i have been here for three months. but my son has cancer here on the side. he had surgery we're staying here.

but there was a lump in my chest. i went to get tested and they told me it was cancer and let me go. inside. what should i do all the money i have saved was spent on the trip to come here it is gone. i love it but what will i do know. that where will they go where will i state that. mr kumar is a professor of oncology and works for one of the country's largest cancer hospitals . india to be have almost one million new cases at the. beach of which i mean reprinted by and what we call it it would list the total number of pieces of the close to ten million. only

a small percentage who can get the helpful montanus from company get that employee of the government to sponsor government employees they can get the investment of those men so in such a setup like here comes the biosimilars with the same quality control that simulate a few cases i believe it at the top of the price or even less a place that i think it becomes a bit of a usual thing for the system. well . it's technology innovation all the developments from around russia we. covered. playwright the scene took a. first strike. and i think pictures.
