UK Firms Involved in Diverting AIDS Drugs
April 25, 2005
British companies have been involved in the diversion of cut-price AIDS drugs intended for people in poor countries, some of which have been sold at a profit to the NHS, it emerged recently. Allegations that middle-men were profiteering by selling cost-price drugs that were meant for Africans back to Europe first surfaced in 2002. A large consignment of drugs had arrived in Senegal, only to be relabelled at the airport and sent back.
