Along with that, the system should be in line with the health-related targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The key idea is to not leave anyone behind and each and every individual can rely on this healthcare system.

India is the country with the highest population and has become a major market over the past few years owing to the rapid development as well as technological advancements. The number of skilled professionals in the country has also been on a rise. With the country’s increased emphasis on improving the healthcare infrastructure, it has garnered significant popularity and more countries and interested in investing in the country. Since it is a developing country, many leading economies would also benefit due to the high FDIs in the region, low-cost production, and the easy availability of skilled yet low wage labours.
The Indian vaccine market has also had a forefront position, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it successfully conducted vaccination drives across the nation. These vaccination drives were conducted for everyone, irrespective of which economic strata they belonged to, the key objective was to make the region free of the pandemic and to immune the population against the fatalities of the virus. India’s response to the pandemic also had a significant footprint on the global nation. Along with vaccine, the country has also managed to efficiently balance socialism and capitalism by manufacturing both affordable and high-end drugs. The country is one of the leading exporters of drugs and the pharma industry in terms of volume. India is also one of the leading global suppliers of the first-line anti-TB drugs. The country meets 90 per cent of the global demand for measles vaccines, showcasing its dedication to eradicate preventable diseases not just nationwide but also globally.
