While addressing the virtual Global Covid-19 Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 22 said that the country’s pharmaceutical industry is providing affordable options to many developing countries during ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “India has always seen humanity as one family. India’s pharmaceutical industry has produced cost-effective diagnostic kits, drugs, medical devices, and PPE kits. These are providing affordable options to many developing countries,” PM Modi. “We've shared medicines and medical supplies with over 150 nations. 2 indigenously developed vaccines have received Emergency Use Authorisation in India, including world's first DNA-based vaccine. Several Indian companies are also involved in licensed production of various vaccines. Earlier this year, we shared our vaccine production with 95 other countries and with UN peacekeepers. Like a family, the world also stood with India when we were going through a second wave. For the solidarity and support extended to India, I thank you all,” he added.
