language re Doha Dec an access to meds...
*_<snip>

Committing to Access to Medications for All_* - Hillary understands that
in order to meet our goals for universal access to treatment, we must
make available the life-extending medications we have in the U.S. to
resource-poor countries. The World Health Organization estimates that 10
million lives could be saved each year by improving access to medicines
already in existence. As President, Hillary will ensure the U.S. lives
up to its Doha Declaration commitments and allow countries to access the
treatments necessary to address public health crises like HIV/AIDS. She
will support trade policies that protect and expand poor countries=92
right to affordable, quality-assured generic drugs for important health
needs. As President, she will also work with institutions that receive
federal funding to ensure that drugs developed with taxpayer resources
are made available off-patent in developing countries.
