Technology Liberation Front: Patents and the Developing World–Commentary

    It is sad that the plan to produce the drugs in Africa apparently does not extend to actually inventing and developing more such drugs in Africa—or then the patents would be important.

    All well and good to have an abstract point of view that has no support in facts, but the reality is that producing drugs is an important first step in building the infrastructure needed to develop them.

    How would an African country develop a pharma industry without making generics first?
