During his time with the DFP Fellows, Dr. Vachani spoke about strategies adopted by various stakeholders. Specific focus was given to pricing strategies utilized by different pharmaceutical companies. Vachani led a debate between the Fellows about the objectives of these enterprises, with some feeling strongly that the primary objective is profit, while others argued for social concern. Vachani detailed the roles played by the government, NGOs and the private sector and how these roles intersect. Fellows were able to use the case study presented by Vachani to develop a comprehensive understanding of the policy strategies adopted by various stake holders.
