The Society for Democratic Rights (SDR), New Delhi in partnership with the Georgetown University Law Center, the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, and Institute for Technology Law and Policy at Georgetown Law invites you to a Comparative Law discussion on the topic "Revisiting the Access to Medicine Debate in the COVID-19 Era".
About the Session
This session will compare the approach of the world's two largest democracies to patents and public health: India and the United States. How do these countries foster access to medicines? How has India's patent law enabled the country to become a generic drug powerhouse, effectively serving as the "pharmacy to the developing world"? Experts from India and the U.S. consider implications of the Covid-19 era to the ongoing access to medicines debate.
