E-DRUG: Medicines Transparency documentaries
--------------------------------------------

Dear E-druggers,

The Medicines Transparency Alliance has recently launched some videos
explaining its concepts by interviewing its members in several
countries. Have a look at the MeTA Global documentary (7 minutes) at:

http://www.youtube.com/user/BacktoEarthFilms

Back to Earth Films directed and produced this short promotional film
for the Medicines Transparency Alliance (MeTA), a global health
initiative that works to increase access to medicines for the poor in
developing countries. The film explains how MeTA works and why,
combining voxpop style interviews with MeTA stakeholders with footage of
patients and health workers in Ghana, Peru and the Philippines. The film
was first aired at the World Health Assembly in May 2010 and at the MeTA
Global Forum in June 2010.

[At the same site, you will also find some interesting documentaries on
anti-microbial resistance; WB]

La Alianza de Transparencia en Medicamentos (MeTA) es una iniciativa
entre gobiernos, empresas farmacéuticas y organizaciones de la sociedad
civil, implementada en 7 países alrededor del mundo, para trabajar de
manera unida por el acceso a los medicamentos, incrementando la
transparencia y la rendición de cuentas en el campo de la salud. El Perú
estableció en el 2008 un acuerdo oficial para construir la iniciativa
MeTA Perú y trabajar en base a estos objetivos.
