Good news about drug patents.

Not long a go a I came across with this news that cheered me up:

The Guardian 30 September 2010:

The National Institutes of Health in the US announced today that it would license an Aids drug to the new Geneva-based medicines patent pool, so cheap copies can be made for poor countries.

I consider this one of those things that could foster the positve trend towards a better life for the people in economic disadvantage.

One toast for this news!
