Pharmaceutical companies could be
pressured into significantly reducing the cost of cancer medication if the
health minister has his way.
Introducing his department's budget
vote in Parliament yesterday,Aaron Motsoaledi called for solidarity as
they try to reduce the cost of cancer medicine, the same way the cost of ARVs
was made affordable in the country
Motsoaledi says in an effort to tackle
the problem globally, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has established a high
level panel on access to medicines and South Africa is represented on the
structure.
