Alleged negative impact on the access to medicines by the Trans Pacific Partnership agreements.
According to the information received, several rounds of negotiations on the Trans Pacific
Partnership (TPP) agreements have been held among the Governments of Australia, Brunei,
Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam since March
2010. Some of the TPP‟s intellectual property provisions would reportedly strengthen
monopolies for life-saving medicines and create barriers for access to medicines. It is further
alleged that new intellectual property standards would not only result in high prices for medicines
but could also negatively impact the ability of developing countries to take positive steps towards
ensuring the enjoyment of the right to health of their citizens.
