Image description

A South African AIDS activist holds capsules of a generic medicine to treat the effects of the disease, March 8, 2001. The capsules were smuggled into the country last year for less than one fiftieth of the cost pharmaceutical firms are charging for the patented version. Drug firms are fighting a court case against the South African government in a bid to overturn a law that would allow the wholesale importation of generic drugs at rock botton prices. In Africa an estimated 25 million people are carrying HIV-AIDS virus with the vast majority too poor to afford the high drug prices. MH/
