Bangladesh’s Pharmaceutical Industry in Global South-South Trade Diplomacy | FES Bangladesh

When people think of Bangladesh’s exports, garments usually come to mind. But there’s another quiet success story: its pharmaceutical industry. Medicines made in Bangladesh are reaching patients in over a hundred countries, making life-saving drugs more affordable across the developing world. Yet a major change is coming. As Bangladesh prepares to graduate from Least Developed Country status, the rules governing generic medicine production will become stricter. What does this mean for Bangladesh’s pharmaceutical sector? Can the country continue supplying affordable medicines to Africa, Asia, and beyond? Could health cooperation become a new bridge between countries of the Global South? This episode explores how Bangladesh’s medicine industry could shape its global partnerships in the years ahead. #Pharmaceuticals #Bangladesh #GlobalHealth #Trade #Development
