Description

In many developing countries, the ability to access affordable medicine for diseases like malaria and AIDS is a matter of life or death. This book examines the serious challenges facing global health, specifically looking at how patent rules for pharmaceuticals affect the availability of life-saving treatments. Historically, access to essential medicines was supported by the supply of much cheaper generics, many of which were manufactured in India. However, new WTO rules taking effect from 2005 threaten this availability. This text explores the impact of these changing regulations on the fight against malaria and HIV/AIDS, particularly in regions like Africa where malaria causes more than one million child deaths every year. By analyzing the tension between intellectual property rights and public health needs, this work provides a deep look into the legal and economic factors that dictate who can access medicine. It is an essential resource for those studying international law and the global politics of healthcare.
