Introduction
More than 38 million people worldwide live with HIV, and access to affordable HIV treatment remains a global health priority. Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) has transformed HIV from a life-threatening disease to a manageable condition — but cost remains a major challenge for many countries.
India has emerged as the world’s leading supplier of generic HIV medicines, providing affordable, WHO-prequalified ARV drugs to developing and developed nations alike.
Unnati Pharmax plays a significant role in this effort by exporting high-quality HIV and antiretroviral medicines to Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, UAE, the Philippines, and South America, ensuring fast and reliable access to essential ARV therapy.
