4/ The ideal model:
✅ Free medicines in government hospitals
✅ #JanAushadhi stores near private clinics
The government must ensure consistent supply, maintain quality and scale the scheme across the country.

Here are examples of common medicines whose prices have dropped significantly under Jan Aushadhi: [insert graphic]
📉 These savings make a real difference when meds are needed every month.

The reason? No brand names — only the salt name. That means no brand premium, no marketing markup, no middle-person cuts. That’s how the cost comes down. #JanAushadhi #Health4All #Access2Medicines

🎙️ Listen to our latest podcast: Patents, Prices & Power.

On this #AccessDenied episode, we welcome
Roshan John, IP and Trade Lawyer on the hidden dangers of India's FTAs and how we can fight back.

Trade must serve the public, not corporate profit.

We need:
✅ Transparency
✅ Parliamentary debate before signing
✅ Protection of India’s pro-public health laws

The result?
❌ Higher medicine prices
❌ Poorer access to treatment
❌ Millions pushed into poverty by health costs

These FTAs demand changes to India’s patent laws —adding more barriers & extending monopolies for Big Pharma.

They are negotiated in secrecy. The public only sees the text after it’s signed. No public debate. No parliamentary oversight.

🎥 To know how Big Pharma gets away with this & what can be done about it:

Watch me in conversation with Chetali Rao of Third World Network as we break down medicine pricing, patent abuse, & the solutions. #SayNoToMonopolies

📌 Sofosbuvir—hepatitis C cure

It was once priced at $1,000 per pill in the US!

(The then) price tag: 34,00,000 INR
Cost to make: 2400 INR

Indian generics brought the cost down by over 99%.

The takeaway? Breaking monopolies works.

📌 Humira—used for arthritis & autoimmune diseases

AbbVie made billions. But held back generics through evergreening patents. It filed more than 200 patents, most of them after Humira was already in the market.

This is legalised profiteering.

📌 Trikafta—a cystic fibrosis drug by Vertex Pharmaceuticals

Life-saving for many.

Price tag: 2,80,00,000 INR
Cost to make: 5,00,000 INR

People are organising for access—but Big Pharma isn’t budging.

📌Lenacapavir—a long-acting HIV drug.

It could be game-changing for millions. It cures and prevents. But Gilead Sciences has blocked access in countries like India through high prices and patents.

Price tag: 38,50,000 INR
Actual cost to make: 3500 INR
