We the undersigned, declare our opposition to the increasingly rapid spread of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) that put the profits of multinational pharmaceutical companies ahead of people’s right to health around the world. These agreements are threatening to fundamentally & permanently undermine access to affordable medicines for millions of people. New HIV, AIDS & TB medicines, Hepatitis C treatments, cancer medicines, essential medicines, life saving medicines for many chronic diseases are all under threat. Millions of people across the Global South already lack access to life saving medicines & new trade barriers will further limit their access to affordable medicines.
