Revisiting the Access to Medicine Debate in the Covid-19 Era: What role do patents play in determining global access to the Covid-19 vaccine? This panel compares the approach of the world’s two largest democracies to patents and public health: India and the United States. How do these countries foster access to medicines? How has India’s patent law enabled the country to become a generic drug powerhouse, effectively serving as the “pharmacy to the developing world”? Experts from India and the U.S. consider implications of the Covid-19 era to the ongoing access to medicines debate.
