[edit] AfD nomination of Global pharmaceutical prices

An editor has nominated Global pharmaceutical prices, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Global pharmaceutical prices and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 11:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TRIPS

I read your concerns about pharmaceutical prices. I thought it might interest you to know that TRIPS does not prevent South Africa from authorizing generic drugs under a compulsory license. All South Africa has to do is adopt a law that says that cheap drugs are needed for a public health emergency. You may want to read the Doha Declaration for more information.
