Clinton Foundation deal to lower costs of AIDS drugs

The Clinton Foundation's activities are being financed by UNITAID, an organization formed by France and 19 other nations that have earmarked a small portion of their airline tax revenues for HIV/AIDS programs in developing countries.

UNITAID will provide the foundation with more than $100 million to buy second-line medicines for 27 countries through 2008.

CANADA DELIVERS ON AIDS PLEDGE; BILL TO SEND INEXPENSIVE DRUGS TO AFRICA PASSES AFTER EIGHT-YEAR DELAY

If Canada would have passed this bill two years ago, the country could have bolstered its chances for a seat on the UN Security Council, said Lewis, who now sits on the board of CHAI, former U.S. president Bill Clinton’s Health Access Initiative.

“It would have been seen as such an act of good faith toward the developing world that it would have created a momentum in Canada’s favour,” he said.

The bill began as a dream of former prime minister Jean Chrétien’s administration. It was intended to honour Chrétien’s legacy by allowing generic drug makers to produce medication for nations who appealed to Canada for help to fight diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

Only Apotex has successfully used it to date to make a triple combination anti-AIDS medication for 21,000 Rwandans for two years.
