Doctors without Borders are petitioning against one of the players of the pharmaceutical industries, in favor of generics and low cost medications.
Here is their manifesto:
"Millions of people around the world today rely on affordable medicines produced in India. India's law contains elements that help put people before patents, but Novartis is taking the Indian government to court to force a change in the law. Neither Novartis, nor any company, should stand in the way of people's right to access the medicines they need.
We urge Novartis to DROP THE CASE now against the Indian government.
People before Patents: The lives of millions are at stake!"
