Submission + - Thailand replicates AIDS drugs instead of buying
unchiujar writes: "Thailand's health ministry says it has approved the production of cheaper versions of patented anti-Aids and heart disease drugs.
Health Minister Mongkol Na Songkhla said the step was necessary to make the cost of the medicines — Kaletra and Plavix — more affordable.
The move was criticised by pharmaceutical companies but drew praise from Aids campaigners."
