"Health inequality was badly exposed during this pandemic, but Priti Krishtel says it doesn't have to be this way. She is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the non-profit Initiative for Medicines, Access & Knowledge. She spoke to Hari Sreenivasan about the need to rethink how patents are regulated." Nominated to the Ashoka Fellowship in 2020, Priti is democratizing the drug patent system by increasing transparency, accountability, and public participation.
