What is the importance of pharmaceutical industry in Pakistans economy?
Health is a blessing and its importance can’t be denied. We see an increasing trend in population and on the contrary accessibilities related to health, maintainence and improvement are declining therefore there is an utmost need for expansion in the size, techniques and also in the methods or approaches developed. Medicine or drugs production is the backbone for better services and for providing upgraded and sufficient treatment to patients. The doctor alone can’t cure the disease, proper medicines are always needed to rectify the problem and these medicines can only be provided by pharmaceutical companies. Hence, you can imagine where this particular industry stands. I would like to see it in the priority list of the country. It doesn’t end here, when it comes to economy, the industry is responsible for exports to compete in international markets as well as to satisfy the local demand.
