India-EU trade deal threatens access to cheap, generic drugs

Filed under: International News — admin @ 11:37 am

A free trade agreement is being negotiated between India and the EU which could restrict access to generic drugs in the developing world. MSF outlines that India is  the source of 80% of antiretrovirals in developing countries. The draft agreement would strengthen intellectual property and enforcement, making access to affordable ARVs much more difficult.
