E-DRUG: Updated ARV Priority List for the Medicines Patent Pool
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
The Medicines Patent Pool has issued a new working paper detailing its evolving priority list of antiretroviral medicines. This working paper is a living document and the Pool welcomes and encourages comments and input. A copy of the paper is available from the Pool's website here:
http://www.medicinespatentpool.org/content/download/560/3237/version/2/file/POOL+ARV+PRIORITIES+WORKING+DOCUMENT+-+Comments+Welcome.pdf
The original medicines targeted for inclusion in the Pool were chosen based on an analysis of the World Health Organization and UNITAID overview of "priority missing essential medicines for HIV" from March 2009. Work has been ongoing – and will continue – to revise this original list in accordance with the latest scientific knowledge.
Comments on the working paper can be sent to office@medicinespatentpool.org. Please use the subject line "Comments on ARV Priority List Working Paper."
The current list of target medicines is here: http://www.medicinespatentpool.org/WHAT-WE-DO/Target-Medicines
Best Regards,
