Bill Clinton Brokers Deal for Lower AIDS Drug Prices

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton announced deals with two Indian generic drug companies on Tuesday to cut prices of AIDS treatments for 66 developing countries, a move that could help nearly half a million patients.The new prices for second line anti-retroviral drugs, which are required by patients who develop resistance to a previous drug regimen, will mean an average savings of 25 percent in low-income countries and 50 percent in middle-income countries, said Clinton, who announced the deal at the Clinton Foundation offices in New York.>>> Discuss This Story
