Corporate Greed >> Human Life?

Since 2007, the drug company Novartis has been fighting to stop the production of affordable generic medicines in India. These medicines are used not just in India, but all over the developing world to help organizations like Medecins Sans Frontieres save millions of lives world-over.

Medecins Sans Frontieres is trying to stop Novartis from prioritizing corporate greed over human life.

 Even after Indian courts ruled against it, Novartis has continued its legal battle and now the Supreme Court is due to hear the case at the end of February 2012.

Of course, looking at recent judgements of the Indian Supreme Court makes me very hopeful that the court will rule in favour of life and not greed.

Praying for life ...
