Anyone can tell/teach me how to achieve this?

Goal:

To establish an FDA-certified institution (American BCG Laboratory) to manufacture and provide BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) for an estimated 50,000 patients newly diagnosed or living with early-stage bladder cancer who require BCG immunotherapy each year.

Problem:

For several years now, BCG has been in limited supply in the U.S. due to the closing of Sonafi Pasteur. Meanwhile, Merck & Co., the only manufacturer remaining operational in North America has been struggling with the production issues as it failed to keep up with the global demand for BCG. Therefore, there is a shortage in the U.S. for this remarkably effective medicine for patients with early-stage bladder cancer whose health and survival rely on the availability of the drug.

Solutions:

American BCG Laboratory will execute a 5-year plan, which will lead to the establishment of a self-sustaining organization whose main mission is to provide domestically manufactured BCG for patients in the U.S.
