The Indian pharmaceutical industry has been globally admired as a "trouble-shooter" for making available life-saving medical needs to fight and win the "war" against coronavirus, former Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Saturday.
Addressing a conference on Regulatory Compliances in Pharma organized by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry here, Naqvi said that when the Covid pandemic had shaken the entire world, the passion, productivity and performance of the Indian pharma fraternity played a key role in keeping the citizens of the country safe while also ensuring the health and well-being of the entire humanity.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to ensuring happiness and prosperity for all has resulted in India becoming a successful and selfless, "protector" of the health of the entire humanity.
He said that the Indian pharma industry has been globally admired as a "trouble-shooter" for making available life-saving medical needs to fight and win the war on coronavirus. The Modi government has taken several important steps for the ease of doing business in the health sector to provide affordable and quality medical facilities for all, especially the weaker sections of society, he said.
