Executive summary
The project was conducted on “Performance analysis of Pharmaceutical manufacturing Company
Before and After COVID-19. It encompasses detailed analysis on the performance of the
Pharmaceutical market.
In Indian markets like Pharmaceutical manufacturing industries are the important sector, but due
to this pandemic the whole Pharmaceutical industries are engaged in creating the vaccine and
drugs for the patients in the beginning and this whole project is about the companies financial
analysis and the research and development towards their threat happened during this pandemic.
The mushrooming coronavirus outbreak in the central Chinese city of Wuhan prompted the
World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a global health emergency in late January. The
coronavirus outbreak isn't just a massive health crisis; it's an economic one as well. If the
pandemic is not contained to a large extent by April, the drop in consumer demands and
industrial production could potentially push the global economy into a recession in 2020.
Many Pharmaceutical Companies are stepping up to the challenges to create vaccines for the
coronavirus outbreak. They are supporting governments in developing and supplying various
health and wellness solutions, which has been covered in the study as well. This massive crisis is
going to change the outlook for auto manufactures in the near future as the focus is likely to shift
towards health and wellness solutions in vehicles.
The study includes a comprehensive scenario-based analysis centered on the current world
scenario on key industries like Automotive across various markets to enable clients to survive the
present to thrive in the future. At the same time, we recognize it is important for our followers to
remain on top of their strategic initiatives.
The industry can be broadly classified into organised and unorganised sectors. The organised
sector caters to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and consist of high-value precision
instruments while the unorganised sector comprises low-valued products and caters mostly to the
aftermarket category.
As the effects of the pandemic start to wane and the industry begins to recover, OEMs will
explore various options to drawback consumers and offset the drop in sales. The study deals with
10
the impact across different regions and the top global OEMs. OEM wise impact analysis across
different regions based on sales and production dependency along with forecasts in various post-
COVID-19 scenarios have been covered in the study.
INTRODUCTION
The study is held to understand how the pharmaceutical industry is affected by the pandemic.
This study finds out analysis of Top 5 pharma companies their performance and financial
analysis before and after covid 19 and also their detailed view on common size statement
analysis
It helps in understanding how the situation changes over the time
As economies around the world are suffering from the impact of Covid-19, businesses are
experiencing losses, workers are without jobs, and many face the challenge of a complete
upheaval of lifestyle. However, pharmaceutical companies taking centre stage in the Covid-19
fight
During these unprecedented times, pharmaceutical companies are responding to the rapid
challenges arising from disruption in supply chains and the need to change business processes. If
the current COVID-19 pandemic lasts for a medium/long span of time, it may impact the supply
of active material and ingredients (mainly from China), as well as the import and export of
pharmaceuticals.
There is also the potential for negative impacts of both a medium- and longer-term nature on
R&D and manufacturing activities, as well as delay on projects/programmes not related to the
core supply chain/data management operations. While the full impact of the global pandemic is
still unknown, pharma companies need to respond, recover and thrive.
The affordability of drugs will rise due to sustained growth in incomes and
increases in insurance coverage. With real GDP growing at nearly 8 per cent over
the next decade3
income levels will rise steadily. Rising incomes will drive 73 million
households into the middle and upper income segments
In addition to income
growth, health insurance coverage will augment affordability. By 2020, nearly
650 million people will enjoy health insurance coverage. Private insurance coverage
will grow by nearly 15 per cent annually till 2020. However, the largest impact will
be seen through government sponsored programmes that are largely focused on
the ‘below poverty line’ (BPL) segment5
, and are expected to provide coverage to
nearly 380 million people by 2020 (Exhibit 3).

COVID-19.
To study the Research and Development techniques of these companies during pandemic.
To study the difficulties that these pharmaceutical companies faced during the Lockdown.
To Calculate the Ratio Analysis and Cost statement Analysis of the top 5 Indian
pharmaceutical companies.
CHAPTER -1
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS:
Performance analysis includes analysis and interpretation of financial statements in such a way
that it undertakes full diagnosis of the profitability and financial soundness of the business. The
financial analyst program provides vital methodologies of financial analysis.
Financial analysis is the process evaluating businesses, projects, budgets, and other finance
related transactions to determine their performance and sustainability. Typically financial
analysis is used to analyze whether an entity is stable, solvent, liquid, or profitable enough to
warrant a monetary investment.And it refers to the process of analyzing and assessing a
company’s financial statements to gain an understanding on its business model, financial
performance, risk and profitability of the business.
12
The role of financial statement analysis is to utilize the information available in a company’s
financial statements (Balance sheet, Income Statement, Cash flow statement) along with other
relevant information, to make economic decisions. External stakeholders use it to understand the
overall health of an organization as well as to evaluate financial performance and business value.
Internal constituents use it as a monitoring tool for managing the finances. The financial
statements of a company record important financial data on every aspect of a business’s
activities. As such they can be evaluated on the basis of past, current, and projected performance.
In general, financial statements are centered around generally accepted accounting principles.
These principles require a company to create and maintain three main financial statements: the
balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement. Public companies have stricter
standards for financial statement reporting. Public companies must follow GAAP standards
which requires accrual accounting. Private companies have greater flexibility in their financial
statement preparation and also have the option to use either accrual or cash accounting.
Several techniques are commonly used as part of financial statement analysis. Three of the most
important techniques include horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis. Horizontal
analysis compares data horizontally, by analyzing values of line items across two or more years.
Vertical analysis looks at the vertical affects line items have on other parts of the business and
also the business’s proportions. Ratio analysis uses important ratio metrics to calculate statistical
relationships.
BALANCE SHEET:
A balance sheet is a financial statement that reports a company's assets, liabilities and
shareholders' equity at a specific point in time, and provides a basis for computing rates of return
and evaluating its capital structure It is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of what a
company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by shareholders.
The balance sheet is used alongside other important financial statements such as the income
statement and statement of cash flows in conducting fundamental analysis or calculating
financial ratios.
·A balance sheet is a financial statement that reports a company's assets, liabilities and
shareholders' equity.
· The balance sheet is one of the three (income statement and statement of cash flows
being the other two) core financial statements used to evaluate a business.
· The balance sheet is a snapshot, representing the state of a company's finances (what it
owns and owes) as of the date of publication.
13
· Fundamental analysts use balance sheets, in conjunction with other financial statements,
to calculate financial ratios.
Assets=Liabilities+Shareholders’ Equity
Assets
● Within the assets segment, accounts are listed from top to bottom in order of their
liquidity – that is, the ease with which they can be converted into cash. They are divided
into current assets, which can be converted to cash in one year or less; and non-current or
long-term assets, which cannot.
Liabilities
Liabilities are the money that a company owes to outside parties, from bills it has to pay to
suppliers to interest on bonds it has issued to creditors to rent, utilities and salaries. Current
liabilities are those that are due within one year and are listed in order of their due date. Long-
term liabilities are due at any point after one year.
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity is the money attributable to a business' owners, meaning its shareholders. It
is also known as "net assets," since it is equivalent to the total assets of a company minus its
liabilities, that is, the debt it owes to non-shareholders.
INCOME STATEMENT:
An income statement is one of the three important financial statements used for reporting a
company's financial performance over a specific accounting period, with the other two key
statements being the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows.
Also known as the profit and loss statement or the statement of revenue and expense, the income
statement primarily focuses on the company’s expenses and revenues during a particular period.
· An income statement is one of the three (along with balance sheet and statement of cash
flows) major financial statements that reports a company's financial performance over
a specific accounting period.
· Totalrevenue is the sum of both operating and non-operating revenues while total
expenses include those incurred by primary and secondary activities.
· Revenues are not receipts. Revenue is earned and reported on the income statement.
Receipts (cash received or paid out) are not.
14
· Cash flow from financing is the final section, which provides an overview of cash used
from debt and equity.
every company that sells and offers its stock to the public must file financial reports and
statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The three main financial
statements are the balance sheet and income statement. The cash flow statement is an important
document that helps open a wind interested parties insight into all the transactions that go
through a company.
There are two different branches of accounting—accrual and cash. Most public companies use
accrual accounting, which means the income statement is not the same as the company's cash
position. The cash flow statement, though, is focused on cash accounting.
Financial Statements:
“Analyzing financial statements,” according to Metcalf and Titard, “is a process of evaluating
the relationship between component parts of a financial statement to obtain a better
understanding of a firm’s position and performance.”
Key objectives of financial statement analysis include assessing decisions such as whether to
invest in the company's securities or recommend them to investors and whether to extend trade
or bank credit to the company. Analysts use financial statement data to evaluate past
performance and current financial position of a company in order to form opinions about the
company's ability to earn profits and generate cash flow in the future.
In the words of Myers, “Financial statement analysis is largely a study of relationship among the
various financial factors in a business as disclosed by a single set-of statements and a study of
the trend of these factors as shown in a series of statements.”
The purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information contained in financial statements
so as to judge the profitability and financial soundness of the firm. Just like a doctor examines
his patient by recording his body temperature, blood pressure, etc. before making his conclusion
regarding the illness and before giving his treatment, a financial analyst analyzes the financial
statements with various tools of analysis before commenting upon the financial health or
weaknesses of an enterprise.
The term ‘financial statement analysis’ includes both ‘analysis’, and ‘interpretation’. A
distinction should, therefore, be made between the two terms. While the term ‘analysis’ is used
to mean the simplification of financial data by methodical classification of the data given in the
financial statements, ‘interpretation’ means, ‘explaining the meaning and significance of the data
so simplified.’
The primary objective of financial statement analysis is to understand and diagnose the
information contained in financial statements with a view to judge the profitability and financial
soundness of the firm, and to make forecasts about future prospects of the firm. The purpose of
analysis depends upon the person interested in such analysis and his object.

India to play vital role in equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines around the world:
Pharma industry
"India contributes 60% of the vaccine production to the world.” With vaccine rollout beginning
in some countries, the world ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic is looking to India for the
large-scale production and supply of coronavirus vaccines as it enters 2021. As the pandemic hit
the world in 2020, Indian pharma industry rose to the occasion and was able to manufacture and
maintain supply chains even during the lockout period, and exported medicines such as HCQ and
paracetamol to more than 150 countries, keeping its image of ''Reliable Pharmacy of the World''.
The world is again looking at India as a beacon of hope to manufacture and supply the huge
number of vaccines needed to tackle the pandemic. "India contributes 60% of the vaccine
production to the world. India is going to play a vital role in equitable distribution of vaccines
around the world," Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance (IPA) Secretary General Sudarshan Jain told
PTI.

contributes 60% of the vaccine production to the world. India is going to play a vital role in
equitable distribution of vaccines around the world," Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance (IPA)
Secretary General Sudarshan Jain told PTI.
While Indian companies such as Zydus, Bharat Biotech and Gennova are developing indigenous
vaccines, other domestic companies are collaborating with global companies such as Serum
Institute with AstraZeneca, Dr Reddys with Sputnik and Biological E with J&J, he added.
"India will also be a benchmark in vaccine distribution and will be using technology to ensure
targeted and phased distribution. India has always believed that global cooperation and
coordination is fundamental to meet the COVID situation," Jain said. Currently, three COVID-19
vaccines candidates of Bharat Biotech, Serum Institute of India and Pfizer are under active
consideration of India''s drug regulator and there is hope that early licensure is possible for all or
any of them, according to the Union health ministry.
Indian Drug Manufacturers' Association (IDMA) Executive Director Ashok Kumar Madan said,
"We are sure with all the attention given by the government, vaccines will too be available for
use from January 2021 onwards. These vaccines are being approved by our Drugs Controller as
18
per the stringent international norms. We take pride that almost 70% of the WHO vaccine
procurements are from India".
Indian firms have used different platforms to produce the vaccines. Scientists in these firms have
the capability to produce the vaccine to counter the mutated forms in a short time, he added.
would refuse to apply for approval of a Covid-19 vaccine until adequate trial data are available.1
This announcement reflected an unusual role reversal at a time of unexpected regulatory
anomalies. For decades, manufacturers have criticized the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
for being too slow and demanding too much evidence before approving new products. But in the
face of growing public concern that the federal government might push forward release of a
Covid-19 vaccine despite inadequate evidence, these roles seem to have reversed.
The industry leaders who signed the pledge understood that in a country already suspicious of
both vaccines and drug makers, rushed vaccine approval followed by unanticipated
consequences could severely damage both their credibility and the population’s faith in
immunization — not to mention sales of a Covid-19 and other vaccines. (Pneumococcal 13-
valent conjugate vaccine [Prevnar 13] was Pfizer’s largest revenue-generating product
worldwide in 2019, at $5.8 billion.2) For the companies as for the public, a careful, data-driven
decision in 2021 would be far better than a few months’ more sales after a premature approval in
October.
The drug makers’ statement comes amid ominous regulatory events: two FDA emergency use
authorizations (EUAs) that went badly wrong, for hydroxychloroquine and convalescent plastic
increasingly direct statements by President Donald Trump suggesting that a vaccine would be
ready before the November 3 election; and growing public uneasiness about the credibility of the
unfolding approval process. Most experts have said that a data-driven vaccine approval by the
end of October would be extraordinarily unlikely,3 but on the day before the CEOs’
announcement the president stated, “We’ll have the vaccine soon, maybe before a special date.
You know what date I’m talking about.” The more Trump suggests the possibility of an “October
surprise” approval, the more concerned the public becomes about the soundness of the vaccine
development and evaluation process.
19
Do the back-to-back statements of the president and industry leaders represent an irresistible
force meets an immovable object? The resolution will be the result of conflicting currents of
clinical trial design, immunology, statistics, regulatory policy, economics, public health, and
politics.
India’s pharmaceutical industry will be able to produce COVID-19 vaccines not just for
the country but also for the entire world, according to Microsoft co-founder and
philanthropist Bill Gates.
A lot of “very important things have been done” in India and its pharma industry is
doing work “to help make the coronavirus vaccine building on other great capacities
that they have used for other diseases”, said the Co-Chair and Trustee of Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation.
He further said, “But (there are) also Bio E, Bharat (Biotech), many others.
They are doing work to help make the coronavirus vaccine, building on other
great capacities that they have used for other diseases.”
20
Mr. Gates said Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is also a “partner with the
government, particularly with the department of biotechnology, the Indian
Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the office of the principal scientific
advisor provide advice and help about getting these tools going“.
It’s a huge challenge with India because you’ve got a gigantic country.
You’ve got your urban centers with a lot of density— and so that— drives the
spread. You have people moving around.”
He, however, added: “Yet people are stepping up... Looking at how we
reduce the spread while trying not to reduce food availability, equipment that
people need.”
Highlighting Gates foundation’s role, he said it has “worked for the Indian
government on health issues like introducing new vaccines over the last
decade; and so when COVID-19 came along, we stepped in and said you
know where are the gaps, we have been funding work on detection and
isolation.
21
We have been particularly active in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar where we have
done health delivery in the past.”
The foundation is also working with the department of personnel and training
to take their online training platforms and “are now using that guidance to
help their frontline health workers”, Mr. Gates said.

CHAPTER - 4
Impact, Research and development
Due to 21-day nationwide lockdown in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the domestic
pharmaceutical industry is suffering a loss of around Rs 1,000 crore per day, the industry body
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' Association.
During this crisis, what are the key pointers that pharmaceutical companies should focus on to
respond, recover, and thrive. During these unprecedented times, pharmaceutical companies are
responding to the rapid challenges arising from disruption in supply chains and the need to
change business processes. If the current COVID-19 pandemic lasts for a medium/long span of
time, it may impact the supply of active material and ingredients (mainly from China), as well as
the import and export of pharmaceuticals. There is also the potential for negative impacts of both
a medium- and longer-term nature on R&D and manufacturing activities, as well as delay on
projects/programmes not related to the core supply chain/data management operations. While the
48
full impact of the global pandemic is still unknown, pharma companies need to respond, recover
and thrive.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) trade group represents
the leading biopharmaceutical research companies in the United States. In 2019, the research and
development (R&D) expenditure of its member companies reached 83 billion U.S. dollars
worldwide. The development of a new drug costs around 2.6 billion U.S. dollars and can take up
to 15 years. In relation to sales, the pharmaceutical sector invests more money in R&D than
many other industries: PhRMA members spent 22 percent of their combined global revenues on
R&D in 2019 – this share increased to more than 23 percent when only considering the sales and
R&D expenditure from the domestic market of the United States.
R&D productivity is continuously declining, and it is said that the conventional model of
pharmaceutical business is being broken up. Thus, individual pharmaceutical companies are
required to understand the right growth strategies. We examined how R&D expenditures affected
the number of approved drugs in 30 large pharmaceutical companies. According to our results,
higher R&D expenditures yielded more approved drugs. Our results are consistent with a prior
study focusing on 13 pharmaceutical companies. However, our results surprisingly show that
approved drugs do not always contribute to growth in terms of total sales. Rather, large R&D
expenditures negatively affect growth in terms of total sales. Although increasing R&D
expenditure seems to be a straightforward strategy to increase the number of approved drugs, our
results suggest that this strategy is not sustainable. More recently, pharmaceutical companies
have been leveraging external R&D innovation through M&A and R&D in-licensing. Our results
show that 30 large pharmaceutical companies have consistently made strategic transactions (e.g.,
M&A and R&D in-licensing); however, there is no evidence to suggest that these strategic
transactions have increased the number of approved drugs. Surprisingly, we found that the
number of strategic transactions negatively affected growth in terms of total sales for home-
region-oriented companies. One of the possible reasons for this finding is the problem of
absorptive capacity. According to Lubatkin et al. when two companies with similar knowledge
bases enter an M&A, they tend to exchange knowledge. According to Lange et al. a large
difference in the knowledge bases reduces the power of influence on the generation of innovation
output. According to Sampson et al. when technological diversity is high in R&D alliances,
barriers to effective knowledge transfer arise. According to Leeuw et al. diversity in the alliance
portfolio negatively affects radical innovative performance as defined by the percentage of
turnover due to new or significantly improved products and services. According to Choi et al.
international R&D alliances tend to have a smaller technological distance than international
manufacturing and marketing alliances. These findings explain the absorptive capacity model, in
that companies cannot absorb knowledge and technologies from new domains if they do not
49
improve their absorptive capacity. The absorptive capacity perspective suggests that home-
region-oriented companies made many strategic transactions, which increased the diversity of
their external knowledge and technologies, resulting in a lack of absorptive capacity.
PhRMA members invested $83 billion in R&D in 2019, establishing the biopharmaceutical
sector as the most R&D-intensive industry in the U.S. economy. In fact, the biopharmaceutical
industry invests on average six times more in R&D as a percentage of sales than all other
manufacturing industries. Over the past two decades, PhRMA member companies have invested
a grand total of nearly $1 trillion in the search for and development of new and better treatments
and cures. The progress we see today is revolutionizing how we treat disease, saving patients’
lives and improving quality of life and public health across a broad range of chronic and rare
conditions. In this new era of medicine, many diseases previously regarded as deadly are now
manageable and potentially curable. Today, there are more than 8,000 medicines in clinical
development around the world. Across the medicines in the pipeline, 74% in clinical
development have the potential to be first-in-class treatments, representing entirely new
approaches to treating a disease. The future has never been brighter as researchers explore new
frontiers that just a few years ago may have been regarded as science fiction, but now transform
patients’ lives.

Ratio Analysis
RATIO ANALYSIS:
Ratio analysis is a quantitative method of gaining insight into a company's liquidity, operational
efficiency, and profitability by studying its financial statements such as the balance sheet and
income statement. Ratio analysis is a cornerstone of fundamental equity analysis.
· Ratio analysis compares line-item data from a company's financial statements to reveal
insights regarding profitability, liquidity, operational efficiency, and solvency.
· Ratioanalysis can mark how a company is performing over time, while comparing a
company to another within the same industry or sector.
· Whileratios offer useful insight into a company, they should be paired with other
metrics, to obtain a broader picture of a company's financial health.
1.Liquidity Ratios
50
Liquidity Ratios measure a company's ability to pay off its short-term debts as they become due,
using the company's current or quick assets. Liquidity ratios include the current ratio, quick ratio,
and working capital ratio.
2. Solvency Ratios
Also called financial leverage ratios, solvency ratios compare a company's debt levels with its
assets, equity, and earnings, to evaluate the likelihood of a company staying afloat over the long
haul, by paying off its long-term debt as well as the interest on its debt. Examples of solvency
ratios include: debt-equity ratios, debt-assets ratios, and interest coverage ratios.
3. Profitability Ratios
These ratios convey how well a company can generate profits from its operations. Profit margin,
return on assets, return on equity, return on capital employed, and gross margin ratios are all
examples of profitability ratios.
4. Efficiency Ratios
Also called activity ratios, efficiency Ratios evaluate how efficiently a company uses its assets
and liabilities to generate sales and maximize profits. Key efficiency ratios include: turnover
ratio, inventory turnover, and days' sales in inventory.
5. Coverage Ratios
Coverage ratios measure a company's ability to make the interest payments and other
obligations associated with its debts. Examples include the times interest earned ratio and the
debt-service coverage ratio.
6. Market Prospect Ratios
These are the most commonly used ratios in fundamental analysis. They include dividend yield,
P/E Ratio, earnings per share (EPS), and dividend payout ratio. Investors use these metrics to
predict earnings and future performance.
For example, if the average P/E ratio of all companies in the S&P 500 index is 20, and the
majority of companies have P/Es between 15 and 25, a stock with a P/E ratio of seven would be
considered undervalued. In contrast, one with a P/E ratio of 50 would be considered overvalued.
The former may trend upwards in the future, while the latter may trend downwards until each
aligns with its intrinsic value.
Ratios are typically only comparable across companies within the same sector. For example, a
debt-equity ratio that might be normal for a utility company might be deemed unsustainably high
for a technology play.
Ratio analysis can predict a company's future performance—for better or worse. Successful
companies generally boast solid ratios in all areas, where any sudden hint of weakness in one
area may spark a significant stock sell-off. Let's look at a few simple examples
Net profit margin, often referred to simply as profit margin or the bottom line, is a ratio that
investors use to compare the profitability of companies within the same sector. It's calculated by
dividing a company's net income by its revenues. Instead of dissecting financial statements to
51
compare how profitable companies are, an investor can use this ratio instead. For example,
suppose company ABC and company DEF are in the same sector with profit margins of 50% and
10%, respectively. An investor can easily compare the two companies and conclude that ABC
converted 50% of its revenues into profits, while DEF only converted 10%.

Common Size Statement
· The common size percentages help to show how each line item or component affects the
financial position of the company.
· Common size financial statements help to compare a company's performance over
several periods as well as against a competitor's.
A common size income statement makes it easier to see what's driving a company’s profits. The
common size percentages also help to show how each line item or component affects the
financial position of the company. As a result, the financial statement user can more easily
compare the financial performance to the company's peers.
By analyzing how a company's financial results have changed over time, common size financial
statements help investors spot trends that a standard financial statement may not uncover. The
common size percentages help to highlight any consistency in the numbers over time–whether
those trends are positive or negative. Large changes in the percentage of revenue as compared to
the various expense categories over a given period could be a sign that the business model, sales
performance, or manufacturing costs are changing.Common size financial statement analysis can
also be applied to the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows.

FINDINGS:
India's national and state-level lockdowns imposed severe restrictions on the mobility of people,
suspending all commercial and social activities that require people to come together, except for
those defined as 'essential services'.
The ambit of essential services and supplies, which included food and grocery, pharmaceutical
and medical goods, and healthcare services, among others, continued operations to maintain
public well-being. Since the government and businesses had limited time to prepare for the
lockdown, the challenges faced by supply chains in general and essential services, in particular,
were compounded.
● Plan: Demand surge and limited visibility of supply trends (due to stock-ups, increased
healthcare needs, etc.)
● Source: Import freight unavailability and disrupted domestic supply
● Make: Unavailability of raw material and limited workforce (due to social distancing,
labour migration, etc.)
● Deliver: Limited availability of logistics facilities, constrained intra- and inter-state
movement
SUGGESTIONS:
At the onset of lockdown, pharma companies came together quickly to identify key priorities and
tasks required to keep the supply chain functioning. Industry and other stakeholders' associations
collaborate to collate and represent issues with the government/civic agencies and seek required
support and interventions. The Government, in turn, worked with agility and transparency with
industry to find quick and practical solutions.
Some of the relevant takeaways from the integrated action undertaken in this case include:
CONCLUSION:
The COVID-19 global pandemic can be associated with numerous short- and long-term impacts
on the health market, mainly the pharmaceutical sector; which can be seen from both global and
local perspectives. Identifying these impacts may guide policy-makers in evidence-informed
planning and decision-making to combat associated challenges. For proper planning to prevent
long-term complications, short-term impacts should be identified and further be measured with
appropriate data-analysis. Identification of these effects is essential for policy-maker guidance
towards more evidence-informed planning to overcome accompanying challenges; and this may
be more important in the context of developing countries with more scarce health-care resources
and pharmerging markets
