All pharmaceutical companies should burn in hell and its about time some country actually stood up to them, now I addmit, I am surprised it was Thailand, (someone must be making money somewhere), but Thailands 's health ministry has approved the creation of generic versions of the anti-AIDS drug Kaletra and Plavix, which the U.S made 5.9 billion in 2005, you think they could spare a couple of dollars, but no they are the devils imps,
This decision will inturn break the patent for Plavix - sold by French-based Sanofi-Aventis and its US partner, Bristol Myers-Squibb and truley marks a fantastic departure from a global trend of trying to lower prices on AIDS drugs.
Even the wonderful organisation Doctors Without Borders praised the government's decision, saying the generic drugs would make treatment more widely available by lowering prices.
The cost of Plavix is expected to drop from 120 baht (US$3.50) per pill to only six to 12 baht per pill.
Treatment with Kaletra currently costs 11,580 baht per month, and could drop to 4,000 baht per month, the group said.
"The Thai government has been trying to balance drug patents with lowering high prices of drugs. This could be a standard followed by other developing countries where the same problem is faced," said Kannikar Kijtiwatchakul,
"The compulsory licensing or government use for this case complies both with the Thai and international law. It will help government cut the cost of AIDS drugs by as much as 90 percent," she said.
Thailand 's universal HIV/AIDS treatment programme has been hailed as a success in the fight against the disease, largely because of the country's ability to provide anti-retroviral drugs to patients.
In 2002, the Thai government launched a generic version of HIV/AIDS triple therapy and was able to cut the cost of treatment 18-fold.
Thailand's treatment programme has been widely credited with slashing the number of deaths from AIDS by about 75 percent last year and the number of new annual HIV infections continues to drop.
Now one of the main argumemts of these bastard money hungry companies is worried about loosing money and their market.
But there was no FUCKING market in the first place, these people are dying in the streets, orphans are crying and suffering in the gutter, and these FUCKING DEVIL WORSHIPPING COMPANIES ARE WORRIED ABOUT LOOSING A FEW DOLLARS, FUCK YOU FUCK YOU AND THE DIRTY HORSE YOU ROAD IN ON,
THREE CHEERS FOR THAILAND AND OTHER COUNTRIES THAT CAN GROW SOME BALLS AND STAND UP AGAINT THESE DEVIL WORSHIPPERS AND HELP THERE OWN PEOPLE
