Agreement, to facilitate access to medicine to the countries lacking
manufacturing capacity. This article examines challenges faced by countries
while issuing compulsory licensing; waiver decision with regard to Article
31(f) and 31 (h) of TRIPS Agreement. The article further analyses the causes as
