MSF HIV project in South Africa reaches ambitious global treatment and prevention targets

Proposed by Italy in February 2019, the resolution is now being sponsored by ten countries: Italy, Greece, Malaysia, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, and Uganda. If passed, it would be a major step towards improving affordable prices for all essential medical tools worldwide. Today, a lack of transparency around what different countries pay for medicines, and the actual cost of researching, developing and manufacturing a particular medicine, allows pharmaceutical corporations to charge exorbitant and arbitrary prices.
