A Vision for the Global Generic and Biosimilar Medicines Industry

May 22, 2021

A Vision for the Global Generic and Biosimilar Medicines Industry
One of the key roles of the generic and biosimilar medicines industry is specifically to promote
the widest possible access to affordable medicines with high quality, safety, and efficacy for
patients globally by introducing competition into the markets. Despite the many hurdles, the
generic medicines companies have clearly lived up to the challenges posed by the pandemic
as it is an industry that is quick to adapt and agile in manufacturing scale-up. During the
outbreak of COVID-19, this industry was providing most of the medicines needed in Intensive
Care Units to ventilate critically ill COVID patients. It is also providing most of the quality
medicines dispensed around the world, especially for increasingly prevalent chronic diseases
and is therefore a strong contributor to health outcomes globally.
