Let us move from 'Volume' to 'Value' leadership to capture global pharmaceutical market, said Union Health Minister Mansukh said on Saturday.
He told the leaders of Pharma industry that it is time to accumulate knowledge from global best practices in research, manufacturing and innovation and develop own models focused on accelerating production to meet the domestic demand while increasing global footprint. Mandaviya was discussing India's Pharma Vision 2047 and roadmap for the Indian pharmaceutical sector with Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance. The session discussed the current position of the pharma industry in India, key initiatives taken by the Government in the last few years and collaborative steps that will help India realize this vision. "We already have the required man power and brand power and Indian companies today are at an inflexion point to capture top global positions", said Mandaviya, adding that India has been acknowledged as pharmacy of the world based on its generic medicines production and the volume share in global market. It is time to move ahead and capture the top global positions based on the value too, he stressed.
