Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 711 Generic Drugs

   To further cooperate with Old Jack, Yang Chen is naturally willing, and the expansion of the Shire company is also beneficial to him.

   He invested in a US pharmaceutical company for only one purpose, that is, to obtain the production patent authorization of the US pharmaceutical company.

   He didn't have that much energy to research and develop all western medicines, and he didn't have the spirit of not afraid of death like the Indians of later generations. More than one billion people all over the country are engaged in generic drugs.

   Later Western pharmaceutical companies have no way to take India, that is because their generic drug production is led by the government.

   There are more than one billion people, millions of death squads, and no matter how powerful the global pharmaceutical companies are, they can’t do such a shameless country.

   However, he can guarantee that if he dares to play generic drugs, let alone the richest man in China, he is the richest man in the world. Western pharmaceutical companies and their countries will teach him how to behave in minutes.

   Cut off people's money, such as murdering parents.

   He didn't dare to play with generic drugs, let alone touch this kind of thing, he didn't even dare to think about it.

  Although drug patents increase the cost of medicines, if pharmaceutical companies cannot make money, what will pharmaceutical companies use to research new drugs?

  Apart from the country, no one in the world would selflessly put their own money into it. After developing a new drug, let others pay no price and copy it directly.

   (Of course, logically, here, my brother still has to say, 'My biggest wish in the second half of my life is not to make money, but to try hard not to let myself go to the hospital.

   As for the reason, everyone should understand it in their hearts, regardless of whether you have a house, a car and savings, wait until you go to the hospital to try it out, and you will be able to return to where you should go in minutes...')

  In later generations, India was called the pharmacy of the poor, where the poor all over the world buy medicine.

  Cough, these medicines are of course not cold medicines, fever medicines or the like. They are mainly some particularly efficient anticancer drugs and very expensive special medicines.

   Generic drugs in India are generally dozens or even hundreds of times cheaper than genuine drugs.

  I believe that those who have watched the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" should remember the old grandmother in the movie.

   (Yang Chen still remembers what the old grandmother said in the movie: "Forty thousand yuan a bottle of medicine, I've been taking it for several years, my house is gone, and my family is ruined!

   Now he finally got cheap medicine, only 500 yuan a bottle, he really doesn't make any money!

   He just wants to help us!

  You caught him!

  We can't live!

   Who doesn't have a patient yet?

  Can you guarantee that you will never get sick for the rest of your life?

  I still want to live!

  I don't want to die...

  To be honest, my younger brother rarely watched movies and saw tears. At that time, he walked into the cinema and watched this movie, mainly for Boss Xu.

   The stark reality of "can't live, can't get sick, can't die" reflected in the movie, I believe everyone is deeply touched.

The drug   Gleevec is undoubtedly a great anti-cancer drug, it can improve the five-year survival rate of patients from 50% to more than 90%.

  The drug entered the country in 2001, but the price was terribly high. In reality, a box of "Gleevec" is more than 20,000 yuan, not the 40,000 yuan in the movie.

   But it is worth mentioning that this drug requires patients to take it for life. It is no exaggeration to say that every time a patient swallows a pill, he is actually swallowing money.

   Ordinary people, a patient, can swallow all the savings, car, and house in two or three years, which is not an exaggeration at all.

  In contrast, the imitation Gleevec in India only costs a few hundred dollars, and the price is dozens of times different, but the efficacy is similar.

   It can be said that in later generations, India has become a developing country by relying on generic drugs, the only country with free medical insurance for all.

  Although it is impossible to do minor illnesses, major illnesses are free, that is, some colds and fevers, minor illnesses are free.

  Slightly bigger, you still have to pay for it yourself.

   But, with the strength of India, it is already very good to be able to do this.

  After all, if we have a fever, it will cost us hundreds of oceans if we go to the hospital to drop a bottle and get an injection.

   This is not too low for someone with a salary of around 3,000.

  Although India has taken advantage of generic drugs, it does not pay no price at all. This price is much higher than the high-priced drugs we bear.

  Everyone knows that there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in India, and 80% of them are poor people who have no money to see a doctor.

  In addition to being poor, the environment in India is also terrible.

India's geographical location, located in the South Asian subcontinent, the climate can be described as a double-edged sword given by God, abundant rainfall and strong temperature are the perfect conditions for plant growth, coupled with the fertile soil of the two river deltas, Indian plants grow very lush, As a result, high-quality food can be produced to feed more than one billion people.

   However, the excessive precipitation and persistent high temperature have also affected the local residents. The hottest places in the world are ranked, and India is on the list every year.

   Humidity and scorching heat are breeding grounds for germs. The dense jungle has a wide variety of species, and India's poor sanitation conditions make the disease spread particularly fast there.

   Even in the 21st century, the number of people who are killed by various diseases in India every year is still very terrifying.

   Many of these diseases are high-incidence infectious diseases. Once the Indian government cannot control them in the country and let them spread, it will be quite terrifying.

   And Indian generic drugs, to a large extent, limit the spread of those infectious diseases.

   Poverty makes it impossible for regular medicines produced by foreign companies to be consumed in India. It is almost impossible for foreign pharmaceutical companies to make money from Indians in this regard.

   But the huge number of disease groups has put a lot of pressure on the Indian government. Medicines are indispensable items for people.

  Although it is wrong to imitate other people's medicines, the Asam government cannot just watch its own citizens die of illness, and cannot watch them suffer from illness.

  Regular medicines cannot be afforded, so they can only be imitated.

  This generic drug not only reduces the import tariff link, but also reduces the middlemen who earn the price difference, and even saves the development cost and time.

   In this way, the price of generic drugs will naturally be much more accessible to the people.

   However, the generic drugs in India, to a large extent, are exchanged by them with their lives.

   As we all know, a new drug needs to go through multiple links in the process from development to launch.

   One of the most important, the most critical, and the most troublesome is the drug test link.

  Maybe many people will say that this test drug only needs to be tested on a few mice.

  If anyone really thinks that way, then there is only one reason why your brain is broken.

   Can a guinea pig be the same as a human?

  The body structure of the two species is different, so it’s okay to test the drug, so don’t talk about the drug.

  The best way to test a new drug is to use patients as a test.

   But this patient, it is impossible for the doctor to test the medicine.

  Especially in developed countries, various so-called human rights make it infinitely more difficult for pharmaceutical companies to experiment.

   is a medicine that is three-fold poisonous, not to mention that it is a newly developed medicine, not to mention developed countries, even developing countries, it is impossible for people to try medicines casually.

   And the so-called volunteers need to spend a lot of money.

   But the test cannot be based on individual cases, it needs huge data support, one in a million, one in ten million…

   This cost is very unbearable for any pharmaceutical company.

   And just so, our third brother carried forward the spirit of fearlessness, the spirit of self-sacrifice, stepped forward and opened his heart to pharmaceutical companies all over the world.

   expressed his willingness to use more than one billion guinea pigs in exchange for the production authorization of patented drugs.

   It is precisely because of this that pharmaceutical companies around the world have turned a blind eye to Indian generic drugs.

   After all, people all carry forward the spirit of fearlessness and dedication, and try new drugs for everyone for free, so it should be a little cheaper.

   Yang Chen expressed his sincere admiration for Brother Asan's spirit in this regard. He really couldn't learn this aspect. He didn't have the dedication to sacrifice himself and others, so he should have given some money.

   Yang Chen said it was acceptable.
