South Aferica today announced that in order to
combat more effectively certain illness (AIDS, etc),
it will set up a review committee where each pamaceutical
manufacturer has to justify its pricing in SA. Those who
cannot justify successfully before the committee will
see their patents in SA being granted to other manufacturers
to produce the medicine at cost (thus the patent holders
are compelled by the government to grand their license
mandatorilly to third parties).
