China produces a great amount of drugs for the world, but the patents of many drugs are controlled by big pharmaceutical enterprises in Europe and America. Many patients are deprived of family possessions or even their own lives because of the extremely high price of these drugs. The WTO "Doha Declaration" clearly emphasises the importance of protecting public health. The Decision on the Implementation of Doha Declaration points out that all developing countries can compulsorily produce generics of patented drugs in the time of domestic public health crisis. China has now met the criteria of compulsory licensing to provide treatment for patients with hepatitis, cancer, HIV, and cardiovascular diseases. Please join us in advocating compulsory licensing, to help more patients get access to treatment.
