The pandemic gave the pharma industry an opportunity to reassess its role
SUDARSHAN JAIN, SECRETARY GENERAL, INDIAN PHARMACEUTICALALLIANCE (IPA)
COVID-19 pandemic is one of the greatest humanitarian challenges. We are learning about the virus and the virus is spreading at an unprecedented rate.
While the pandemic posed several new challenges, it also gave the pharma industry an opportunity to reassess its role and emerge as a reliable supplier of high-quality, affordable medicines. This has been a period of significant learning for the Indian industry on all fronts.
Collaboration is the key
The industry worked relentlessly to provide an uninterrupted supply of medicines in India and across the world. The integrated efforts by the industry, Government of India and other stakeholders such as transporters, supply chain partners made it possible for a quick turn-around.
Proactiveness - the need of the hour
The pandemic demanded agility and proactiveness. This began by classifying medicines as essential goods to manufacture and transport including applying for emergency approvals for manufacturing and testing for newer treatments.
Innovation paved the way
The industry responded promptly by evaluating possible utilisation of available drugs (repurpose drugs) and exploring
more innovative approaches. Indian companies are engaged in developing indigenous vaccines that are currently undergoing testing for efficacy and safety.
Resilience in the supply chain
