The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers
of America (PhRMA)'s decision to list India as a Priority Foreign Country
illustrates pharmaceutical companies' escalating discontentment with the
country due to a series of patent disrespect issues. We maintain that low
government spending on healthcare is the root of the problem, as it limits
patients' access to services. However, we do not expect the situation to
improve in the near term, and the affordability of patented pharmaceuticals
will remain an issue between the US and India.
