[Ip-health] Life before pharmaceutical profits! Patents can be deadly. - Signature campaign

[Christiane Fischer]

Dear all,

BUKO Pharma-Kampagne - a German NGO (www.en.bukopharma.de ) - is a board
member of the German network Action against AIDS (www.aids-kampagne.de ). We
support the important signature campaign "Life before pharmaceutical
profits! Patents can be deadly" and ask you to sign and to support us in
collecting more signatures:

Millions of people living with AIDS have a chance to survive. But patent
applications by the pharmaceutical industry make new and more effective
medicines unaffordable for people in developing countries. We call for a
withdrawal of patent applications so that low-cost generic medicines can be
produced in countries like India. Support our campaign with your signature!

"I demand that the pharmaceutical companies Abbott, Bristol-Myers Squibb and
Gilead withdraw their applications in India for patents on new, essential
AIDS medicines."

Warm regards,

Dr. Christiane Fischer
