From: "Alan Story" <[log in to unmask]>
I am doing some research on the healh care economics of TRIPS, access
to essential medicines, patents,and pharmaceuticals, etc. and I am
trying to compile a list of drugs that have been developed without the
incentive of (or interest in) obtaining patent protection and the
person involved.
Can you add to the list?
1) Jonas Salk (U.S.) - polio vaccine.
2) Alexander Fleming ( UK) - penicillin
3) Manuel Patarroyo ( Colombia) - malaria vaccine ( turned over patent
to the World Health Organisation)
A cite/site with a few details would also be appreciated, but not
necessary. Reply either on or off list....
Cheers
