Here's a Good Idea
Southern African nations are organizing to launch a joint effort to produce antiretrovirals. In the wake of several countries offering compulsory licenses to produce generic versions of AIDS drugs, this step would be another way that the developing world can take some control over the way it treats AIDS. It also could do more to disrupt the current drug distribution and patent hegemony.
