The emergence of Egyptian biotechnology from generics
Article Abstract:
The success of Egypt's public health system is measured by its ability to satisfy local demands and to respond rapidly and effectively in times of crisis. Thus, a comparison of Egypt's health biotechnology publications in international peer-reviewed journals and patents granted in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) between 1991 and 2002 provides a view of the country's innovation level in terms of scientific output and technological activity in the field.
