According to the sources of pharma industry the export of medicines had been increasing rapidly for the last five years leading to 35 percent annual growth of this industry. According to estimates, an investment of over $200 million has been made in the industry so far.
However, according to the London report the World Health Organisation (WHO) has banned Pakistan-manufactured medicine, Isotab, due to the recent deaths caused by medicine reaction in Punjab. Following the ban, the world media, especially Indian, has continuously started a hue and cry that the WHO imposed ban on import of all kinds of medicines from Pakistan despite the fact that the organisation has banned only one medicine. People are of the opinion that political conflicts have ruined the speedily growing pharma industry.
