The mindset of these companies of treating the poor people as Guinea pigs is also disgusting
671 reported deaths http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/human-rights-pan...
There is no count of no of people who get disabilities but don't die due to trials failing. Who will pay for these? These pharma companies are steered by greed
But if poor Indian patients are going to test these drugs, the GP can certainly argue that poor Indian patients should be able to afford them.
India is one of the biggest hub for most of the pharma's clinical trials due to huge poor population. The rules are lax and they take advantage of it. Lot of people die and many turn paralyzed or disabled permanently due to drug's unknown side-effect.
These corrupt pharma companies want to use India as it's test-bed but want to sell the drugs tested here at an abysmal high price such that it is even out of my reach (even though I am well off).
