Letter to Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam re: Patent (Amendment) Bill 2005

“We write to you to express our deepest concern that recent amendments to India’s patent legislation will lead to unnecessary suffering and death for millions of people in your country and in many others, particularly in the developing world. We urge you to send the Patent (Amendment) Bill 2005 back to Parliament for reconsideration, so that the interests of public health, in India and globally, are given priority . . . .”
