Many people in poor countries die from diseases that are curable because they cannot afford the medication required. Do you believe that drug companies should make their products available at reduced prices in these countries?

There are many deaths in poor

countries

from diseases that rich

countries

can cure with expensive

medicines

. Some

people

think that

this

is unfair and that

medicines

should be given to poor

countries

for a reduced price. I agree with

this

statement but

also

think that the responsibility is not only for

drug

companies

. Nowadays

drug

companies

make very big

money

with medicine for treating diseases. The

medicines

are very expensive and in rich

countries

, the government or

health

insurance pays for these

medicines

.

However

, in poor

countries

, the government and

people

do not have the

money

to pay for these

medicines

. I think that the

drug

companies

should give

medicines

at a reduced price. HIV and AIDS are a big problem in African

countries

and

drug

companies

recently made medication much cheaper. Because they made medication cheaper lots of

people

now do not die.

However

, I think that it is not only a problem for

drug

companies

. I think rich

people

and

countries

should give

money

to poor

countries

so they can spend

money

on

health

. In conclusion, I believe that everyone needs good

health

and

people

should have good

health

if

werethey

Correct your spelling

were they

poor or rich. It is not good to only have

medicines

for rich

people

and poor

people

are dying.

This

is a big problem in some parts of the world and

drug

companies

are bad to take all of the

money

to make sick

people

's

health

. Everybody needs medicine and if poor

people

can have medicine at a cheaper price

then

this

is a good thing.
