Love, life and riots

Room
Art Exhibits Channel
Session Description
Photo exhibition. In theory, the prognosis for a person diagnosed with HIV, Hepatitis C or TB is now better than it ever has been. In reality, that depends on where you live and who you are. Access to medicines is not equitable. Millions of people die each year because essential drugs are overpriced. Scientific advancements are worthless if they are out of reach. When health budgets won't stretch to treat everyone in need, the most vulnerable are left behind. Treatment activists around the world are fighting patent barriers to make medicines affordable. We won’t stop until everyone can access the life-saving medicines they deserve. www.makemedicinesaffordable.org
