-Caveat Lector-
Okay. Let's see if the pharmaceutical companies gouging all customers for
supposed AIDS drugs REALLY are concerned or are just "concerned" about their
wallets. Watch closely what happens after this announcement:
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-India-AIDS-Drugs.html
NEW DELHI, India (AP) -- In a challenge to big drug manufacturers, an Indian
company is offering to supply AIDS drugs to a medical relief agency at 3.5
percent of the cost charged in Western countries, as long as they are
distributed for free.
Bombay-based Cipla Ltd. will sell the three-drug, anti-retroviral cocktail
to Doctors Without Borders for $350 a year per patient, instead of the
$10,000 to $15,000 charged in the United States and Europe, Cipla chairman
Yusuf Hamied told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The decision could revolutionize the treatment of HIV patients in developing
countries, where the virus is most rampant -- but it's unclear if the
companies holding patents on the drugs will go along.
