  • India is the largest provider of Generic Medicines globally1.

  • India supplies over 50 per cent of global demand for various vaccines, 40 per cent of generic demand in the US and 25 per cent of all medicine in UK1.

  • India contributes the 2nd largest share of pharmaceutical & biotech workforce in the world1.

  • Ayushman Bharat is the world’s largest healthcare scheme which is expected to benefit 100 million poor families1.
