Indian drug companies have managed to manufacture medicines for four rare diseases with the help of the central government in just a year, slashing the cost of treatment by up to 100-fold. Drugs for Gaucher's Disease, Wilson's Disease, Tyrosinemia Type 1, and Dravet-Lennox Gastaut Syndrome are available in India at drastically cheaper rates, as Indian pharma companies are now making them. India has approximately eight to 10 crore patients who suffer from rare diseases.
