Under our current healthcare system, every day the greed of big pharmaceutical companies puts patients’ lives at risk. Big pharma’s monopolies allow them to limit supply so they can keep prices high, and that stops patients being able to access the drugs they need.
Just Treatment got started six years ago – aiming to build a powerful, patient-led campaign to take on the big pharmaceutical companies that rip off our NHS and price medicines so high the people who need them can’t get them. We’ve won amazing victories on breast cancer and cystic fibrosis – forcing the government and drug companies to back down, helping thousands of patients access lifesaving medication they’d been denied.
Now, we’re taking the fight against big pharma greed global. We’re working with cystic fibrosis patients and families across the world to win universal access to lifesaving medicines. These drugs are produced by US pharma giant Vertex, who use their monopoly to charge a staggering $326,000 per patient per year. This grotesque corporate greed is costing lives. We are fighting to end it.
| Yes – I’ll add my name |
Whether it’s big pharma denying access to medicines or private healthcare companies taking over our NHS, we’ll keep organising and protesting whenever private profits are put before patient care – it’s great to have you on board with us in this fight.
More soon,
Gayle at Just Treatment
