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 of 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 has changed that we. would be for the future. on

this. more than ten years. 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 when 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. piece he used to. thank you. but you had a drug. that actually did. problems so they decide which was basically done by public apps and public money the problem was taking the drug from the lab. and that's what. i. imagine it is the lifesaving substance for patients with my lord leukemia that is contained in glivec the drug.

the exact same active substance can also be found in its copies in generic drugs like the knot which is produced by moscow one of india's largest pharmaceutical companies. you couldn't didn't want to. go through a system of trial and regulatory scrutiny which i love this to get periods and this product so indistinguishable and they're the same and the patient who takes our product who takes know what this product we had it the same to make a bit of. both the original and the copy of the drug are equally effective. but they are also

divided by a great difference that price believe a product is sold in india one hundred twenty thousand rupees which is about four hundred dollars per month at a peak and in ninja. you have a retail price of two hundred dollars but good discount we give it to patient on hundred fifty dollars two hundred sixty games. 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 and 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 in my jewelry and my daughter. as well. and i gathered five thousand troops from the money for the greengrocer. 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 it's whatever god wants i can't do anything. if the generic been up did not exist mr minus would not have survived. he sells 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 house their annual salary. to get one hundred twenty five thousand rupees is

a huge amount of look 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. the interview.

when a state grants a patient 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 granted the pain for glivec allowing the distribution of exact copies on the market. for that reason in two thousand and six novartis sued 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. living. on trees. in india was all but. and waters of course wanted to see how innovation be valued in india so we are fighting the battle to get a patent in india or to be more like opening the doors the fall of the fort which india has but before which we have to do with the doors will be open for all these corporates to go ahead and explode under same lines

other drugs before the same suit the other companies will go ahead and say ok if they were being granted on the scene grounds we should also be granted. claims that 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 has 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 basically go to court and block the number of genetic companies on a number of different don't know why this is made that this has nothing to do with . the pricing going skyrocket if it is not the case and lay fine the case. if that is not the case then go back to your office and start working for the

benefit of the society why you did based on your time in the courts i. owe it to you. because 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 even that it to forty dollars per month to put company which is giving it it's making profit although it is not giving it for free right it's not giving it no profit or 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. as 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 understand. 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 peyton's. thank. you. introduction of the nine hundred seventy bitten it was only the brawl since a biggish with a. lead a simple you know an applicant has invented a ball says. if making it but. the invention is denying him the balls it's. only the balls. not the.

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 may need it i think we thought. the benefit of having patent window could have borne down the cost of medicine to the point of death so basically what invest said was that because companies like g.s.t. pfizer and abbott 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 it was 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 you wanted to animal sex talk to access to the drugs from the very same source so it benefited of course you know for example india's malaria program or 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 this population and financial interests. and india is the perfect. to have the word of medicines to make medicines and even see in today's prices made in india is sold in the us sold in utah soil enough tickets sold in south america and generics probably make up sixty seventy percent no longer look to make up seventy percent of the. medicine so there's no fear of what you might call the quality of the medicine i think the concern is about they they didn't aches from the fact that because of the lower cost some people suspect

it's. no worse than there were no examples of drugs from the names. 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 if you have to re mechanism that guarantees that your drugs of good quality then they're more to cure the actual active ingredient that the drug cause doesn't really come with a patent when you swallow your appeal you don't swallow also. the trade names like nobody's or i don't like that recall many pfizer he just sort of this particular chemical molecule that when you kill your body to fight an infection or out of a disease it really glued to your daughter and you know these bigger countries they come to the factory before the three of them licenses example enough actually we had the u.s. if to get. approval we have german approval we have a pool from greece to be sent to the other two so there was selling

a product movies 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 there's in place only then the ilo. thank.

outside of mumbai's counts are hospitals the patients 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 that 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. but what will i do know. that where will i 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. much of which need to be printed by what because it would list the pieces you'd be close to then maybe. only a small percentage who can get the help went to mr accompanied if that employee of

the government sponsored government employees they can get the investment and so in such a set up lake here can have the biosimilars but the same quality can simulate a few cases i believe at the top of the place or even less a place that i think it becomes a bit of a useful thing for the system. wealthy british style stock. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cons or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report
