National Department of Health said
it has noted a document which speaks about the issue of intellectual property
in the country, in which some people are rallying others to make it impossible
for the government to make medication cheaper in the country.
There is now pharmaceutical company
campaign against South Africa 's draft
patent policy which Minister Aaron Motsoaledi will have serious consequences
for developing countries.
Ministerial Spokesperson Joe Maila
said they will do everything that they can to make sure that all goes ahead so
that they have the situation in which they get life saving drugs cheaper than
they do at the present moment.
“We will not be able to upload and
lift the numbers that we have to put people on the ARV’s, and all other
measures that we need to make that our people get life saving drugs in the
country.” Maila added.
