A Covid recovery will require all countries and all people to have access to an affordable vaccine. Yet the monopoly powers given to pharmaceutical companies by the World Trade Organisation's Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement will allow companies to make extravagant profits and charge prices that could be prohibitive for most of the world.
PSI Asia Pacific is organising a Briefing Session, "How WTO is obstructing access, and what unions can do", on Wednesday, 2 December at 11AM Bangkok time, to help affiliates understand the arguments countries are making in relation to the proposal. Experts in Intellectual Property and access to medicines will join us and answer your questions.
Discussants:
Gopa Kumar, Third World Network (TWN)
Leena Menghaney, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)
Interpretation will be provided in Bangla, Nepalese and Thai. Contact the organiser ([email protected]) to request for more languages for interpretation.
