Protesters demand changes to patent law

Protesters demand changes to patent law | Beckley News : Cannabis - Marijuana | Scoop.it
Beckley Foundation's insight:

Thursday was the final day for public comments. Members of the three organisations, activists and members of the public made a submission emphasising the need for a review of the laws, which give a monopoly to pharmaceutical companies who patent a drug.


The aim of the campaign has been to fight against these 20-year monopolies as they mean the country cannot access cheaper and newer drugs available on the market during this period.


They also mean drugs have to be bought at prices set by the pharmacy: “They become expensive and unaffordable, and inaccessible to a large part of our society,” said Section27’s Umunyana Rugege.
