The UK government is pressuring India to agree a trade deal that would drive up medicine prices in the global south.
If adopted, this proposal would have a devastating impact on public health across the world.
The UK demands include:
- The scrapping of measures that allow citizens block unjustified drug patents before they are granted;
- Extending patent monopolies beyond the already lengthy 20-year period;
- Greenlighting patents on minor changes to known medications.
Can you urge the UK government to withdraw its dangerous intellectual property demands from the UK-India trade deal?
