E-DRUG: Oxfam: Rich countries betraying their obligations to help poor countries (4)
-----------------------------------------------------

It is very interesting that we speak about the poor donor who struggles to make sure that help reaches the right person...the only solution to this is to make sure that drugs are affordable and the poor will go right out and buy them when they are sick and in doses they need...in Africa, in India and in Latin America too.....This will eliminate middle men and 
consultants who usually get 60% of the amount committed by the donor anyway . The poor countries do not usually like charity.
