Nationalizing it will politicize pharmaceuticals
You need to keep the politicians out of the pipeline and put physicians and pharmacologists in charge. It's more difficult in a country where the public service has been gutted for 40 years, but it has to be done.
Right now there is insufficient research in antibiotics and tropical diseases and far too much in cancer. The market isn't going to fix that misallocation of funds.
