PEOPLE BEFORE PATENTS:
THE LIVES OF MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE SIGN-ON TO HELP PROTECT ACCESS TO 
AFFORDABLE MEDICINES!!

SIGN-ON TO HELP PROTECT ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE MEDICINES!!

Pharmaceutical company Novartis is taking the Indian government to court. If 
the company wins, millions of people across the globe could face their 
sources of affordable medicines drying up.

India produces affordable medicines that are vital to many people living in 
developing countries. Over half the medicines currently used for AIDS 
treatment in developing countries come from India and such medicines are 
used to treat over 80% of the 80,000 AIDS patients in Médecins Sans 
Frontières projects.

If Novartis is successful in its challenge against the Indian government and 
its patent law, more medicines are likely to be patented in India, making it 
very difficult for generic producers to make affordable versions of them. 
This could affect millions of people around the world who depend on 
medicines produced in India.

Tell Novartis it has no business standing in the way of people's right to 
access the medicines they need. Sign on and urge Novartis to DROP THE CASE 
against the Indian government.
