For example, the existence Indian &#8220;contract research organizations&#8221; which do specific research for and under the guidance of major western companies. Or that the Serum Institute of India in Pune supplies products to 138 different countries and claims to immunize half of the world&#8217;s children against several diseases.<\/p>\n<p>But the paper also points out the danger that the Indian companies will focus too much on the lucrative western markets and neglect local illnesses and issues for which there is a pressing need to develop effective drugs locally.  Historically, Indian companies have been the principal providers of vaccines and medicines for the major local killers like malaria and tuberculosis.
