me. to me will. get. i i thank you

thank. the majority of india's population does not even have access to primary health care it's. many cancer patients gain access to the treatment through an ngo. the cancer patients hate association. case we see the supporting sit in front of the shoots to keep it to one key piece. because given. the generic speak it just it if we have cheese the price of people and provided. it would be in that range of maybe even. to this event which movie support. the efficacy of a distance is identical so i. think that. it's justified in giving that. tends. to be considered.

the self-sufficiency philosophy on which the indian state relied since its independence changed in one thousand nine hundred five.

cool in that year the world trade organization was a stablished which determines how color should be conducted worldwide. and india became a member from the very beginning. if you. do not sign this agreement with your creativity. you know that the world has become more like a global village late you cannot go ahead and ostracize a country and say or you do whatever you want on this one we are not created with you that country will not be able to survive on its own. as member of the w t o recognized in two thousand and five for the first time in its history peyton pharmaceutical products. based on the fact

novartis demanded to be granted a pavement for as it claims a renewed form of. however india's pain the office rejected obligation. does not merit a peyton certificate in india. we don't deserve any bit. as big as the it is. pretty basic public bodies the behind the bit and not to get bitten on things that which is already known so good is already. solved is all didn't. get a bit redundant. going to get a bit until. it is already known in one thousand nine hundred thirty get a bit does that novelty the. chemical which i imagine this was a base product but in that form it was not medicine it was just

a chemical but when the waters and its researchers did their work and created to be decreased by inform it became clear break it became. a great medicine which made. initially a disease to assure death sentence into a chronic illness and. when they did the drug in the unit in the lane and united states children twenty on. it was a new compound but india at that time was not part of the patent system we cannot go back. and give you an act and a ninety two more the q they basically said we can get the basic phone so we come up with every greening application which we can put into developing countries like india and get to not be. evergreen is a pleasant term for a poor practice. that is the refreshing of a drug in other words you present an old drug as

a new one. pharmaceutical companies use it in order to falsely pull on a drugs peyton troil to use. if you ask me in one nine what it means you take the same job and patented again and again and again in different forms so the drug is the same but the form changes so you don't come up with a new drug just to get it and be formulated. on. take. a pill and make it into a shooting. and that can be a different backing or together so you once you've done that you get a new market you get an extension if you will not believe and indeed you have not solved integration because you haven't come up with something new. like a suit it goes or in engineering or even an all out there might be one of the cases

where this is done but that does not mean it is done all the time i think the rates presented it seems to be more than the norm than the exception and i can certainly see. it is deaf we know the kids because it's a dramatic improvement on the outcome. knowing the evergreen in practice and the abuse of the paging system india maintain strict safeguard measures and its low. egal system about what can be painted and what cannot. in line with international law it was the first country to do something but others can also do. it is why bill safeguard measures were at the heart of the historic legal battle between the indian state and of artists the world's largest pharmaceutical company . shall not be granted on a mere baby and. i lose the chills so mean if it is significant because india is the fourth. which has put border.

in the manner in which you would prevent abuses of the patents and we've seen documentary evidence and that unfortunately these probably companies have been backed by the very powerful country governments for example are going to become mission that expected some excluding them coming from. clearly favor of its own from so to be just feet rather than looking at. the pharmacy of the developing world all the other big manufacturing companies they do have the best in europe. they're trying to go ahead and negotiate on intellectual property rights as well because the voice. in india that might be placed into big big profit margins and know. which is which has been going ahead and hindering profits of big pharmaceutical companies because when they try to word and sell their products in africa for example obviously a generic pharmaceutical will be able to give

a much greater price compared to what they're offering and then we both are equally good. emirs become the cheap key competitor if india starts doing it india becomes a prominent upload of these products then the rest of the world can also do it i do that's the challenge. i. know fargas claims to understand poor people's inability to access drugs and for

that reason it gives glivec for free to fifteen thousand patients and meet with the help of a program that a supervised by the max foundation. has been approved. and then physicians. to give them money and foundation and. mr vince devised a doctor i'm self was diagnosed in two thousand and four with clinic my load leukemia. his doctor was read sturtevant of artist program and referred him to the max foundation. that drug. is an expensive drug and. even for me it would have been very difficult to be able to afford the stride and to be able to use it without extreme discomfort to my finances and to my way of

living so i would not have honestly been able to afford the drug if it was not for this wonderful foundation and people the drug is given to the patients life for as long as the physician says they need it the drug is given it's a big boon the pharma company has this kind of project. x. is a drug like this this drug is a marvelous drug. fifteen thousand patients take three hundred thousand take the mts. doctor but the health care system cannot rely on novartis as project. they have entered this group certain hospitals and. so there it is need from that point of charity efforts which the will to shoot the social responsibility on to note if the poor and weak

use of the. to the deceased because of the. two and individually for that drug. mission in three couldn't take should be free in-store charge is free. range means free risk free stew type free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects a free media and on to our teeth dot com. over to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy trek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of

our government and across several we've been hijacked like handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trucks rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america by bill ready to join the movement then walk a little bit but. i would rather ask questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on

their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question for. plus there was a new alert and a script scare me a little bit. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news. alexander's family cry here's a. great thing. that i have. found. is a story. playing out in real life. for

several years mr i have been receiving hiv medicine from the doctors without borders clinic in mumbai. they were too expensive for private patients i didn't have an income and couldn't work so it was impossible for me to pay the medical bills. left everything in the hands of god i will live out the time that i am given i cannot take the medicine the drug on the market was too expensive. if any money i thought of where to get the money. or if i should take the drug today and leave it i will take it tomorrow. is something i always thought about the

money. when i started taking the medicines here my health improved dramatically i gained weight and i eat drink mattie and don't even think about the fact that i'm mel gibson. now i feel very good now i feel that i will live. eighty percent of the drugs used by doctors without borders in their missions to offer life to patients worldwide are generic drugs from india. that is why the organization is one of the swiss companies most ardent opponents in this legal battle. it's not that you have drugs. for the next week or next month but. if you'd be able to treat cancer we would be able to treat hepatitis would we be able to treat drug resistant tuberculosis. and.

be able to expand and treat the same manner that we have done for example in sub-saharan africa. in america. saying that we should stop. i mean. isn't it. if you do not give a return. again money in there for investment for future research. because it seemed to twenty percent off the top of the follow companies. it is not being given. that high speed generated by the company so i think you're to look at it. and not do

more because to morrow and. from left to copy from anybody. they didn't. want this to argue that. the patent system giving such. having to ration. ration despite the patent system for example very few new antibiotics and why do we need. to be needed for. infection so you need new antibiotics. why would you invest in a new compound when you put back to the same point again and again and keep extending your profit. challenges that research costs huge amount to be to get

a new chemical entity costs two to three billion dollars and the reason it is was issued degree will feel in the process of. their normal volunteers to come night is a government struggling to do research on nor do you have any other organization coming to research on abuses which will move profit and loss because if you do not allow people their returns will just disappear because the show will run over and that's the logic of i'm telling the logic it's not about profits at all let me put this question back to them. after the beating thing has come up right need drugs have come up in the market i put this question back to them if you look into the data you will find that most of the drugs which have been researched.

have come into the market and nearly once most of them there were more number which came before the phaeton concept came in for example even if you were closest to seymour glass which i think it was early in one thousand eight hundred a wonder what it was that seemed that is preventing you know why not is that the end of it event driven if they don't see profits will it. there's a simple reason they're only looking for profits and that is what my point is i think it's clear. there is a disease that affects the most have multiple parts of the walls or the most or. the less pretty when it's part of a society. then the picks but this one for profit is very low either because the patients can look to for themselves the treatment or because their state their government they are also poor but the couple to four i don't agree i don't equate that at all in fact we have to talk of the value of the medicine not the price of

the medicine because water the value all seeing the smile of the mother spirit in the child escaped from a life threatening disease waters a value that you put on improving life expectancy from forty years to eighty years what are the economic value if that person had been at your place and you had been in the place and that person have been selling their drugs at such a high place that you were not able to afford it. and would i would you have liked it i. don't have to spend money. how did he seem to. be. for maybe a bit more but i use it as. i know. this particular piece. out. but only. on principle multi-nationals should remember.

to consider reality. in richmond instead of the expense of the city. or nuclear. today the supreme court is to issue its verdict and put an end to the sensational court battle of novartis india that has lasted for seven years. the court's verdict will be the one to determine whether millions of patients

worldwide will continue to have access to affordable drugs. and everyone is holding their breath. to get the use of this dissipating and we will be getting news from the supreme court the apex court has in fact dismissed no vortices appeal as one would. be. taking a restraining order against indian companies from. also that the company. has the way for indian companies to continue copying the medicine and campaigners say it means poor people will still be able to get access to cheap generic forms of lifesaving treatment. according to the court's dismisses decision no payton rights are given to the.

original pharmaceutical formulation but a new version of an older drug. the decision is to set a legal precedent for other similar cases for other pharmaceutical industries a meditating similar pain rights. but the great interest at stake do not leave much hope that something similar will not be attempted again in the future. for now this important battle has finally been won. even before. even after the. and more greedy that is what i think this is something that you could do james i mean the good ones would come to the general people of the poor people i think that that

aspect has to go i cannot accept that people can die if there is treatment which can save their lives that there is no law system all the can explain or justify the means to a single. science which cannot help society has no meaning. so what are the signs be to it has to well to me to translate to the society is to be for the benefit of society this earth has enough to go ahead and feed all the living beings. it has enough. but it is not enough to sustain one person's greed. ok.

thanks oh ok.

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images kobold has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are all today. well. it's technology innovation all the least of melanin still around russia we've got the future covered. i know c.n.n.
