YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

India has long been called the world’s pharmacy as the largest producer of generic drugs as well as vaccines on the globe.

But demand has dwindled, creating a glut even as vast regions remain largely unvaccinated. Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from India.
