Ep 12: Free, universal healthcare! | Murali Neelakantan on how to fix India's healthcare
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
Murali Neelakantan says we simply cannot allow people to suffer because they are unable afford a drug that already exists. He argues that India must make healthcare free, universal, and funded by the state acting as a benevolent monopsonist.
But what is healthcare? Why should we not bet on private interests to solve this problem? And does the state's interference do more harm than good?
Murali is a lawyer with an expansive career spanning decades in corporate law. He has been a long-time voice in India’s healthcare policy debate, working as global general counsel for both Cipla and Glenkark Pharmaceuticals.
