Every year in Hyderabadan Indian city, new facilities are built to make medications. There is Fiscal stimuli and cheap labor to attract pharmacists. Without going any further, a third of all medications and vaccines and are manufactured there. Without environmental laws, antibiotics end up in water.
In the heart of the state of Telangana, Hyderabad has become the most relevant city of the pharmaceutical industry of India and the entire world producing a third of generic medicines and vaccines worldwide.
But the progress of this mega -industry is accompanied by serious environmental and health consequences. Toxic waste, including antibiotics, is poured without control in the bodies of water that feed the Musi River, thus creating a culture broth for the proliferation of antibiotic resistant superbacteria.
A serious problem, which already hinders the treatment of Common infections and that puts public health at risk globally. In places like in Dubad pulmonary infectionsvision problems or cognitive alterations.
But despite all this, the Indian government advances with the megaproject that seeks to further consolidate the region as the global cradle of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
A conflict that until now has put half million people at stake, but to which we are all exposed and of which probably a percentage will be affected.
