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?

Research has shown that a lot of poor population die every year

due to

the high

prices

of many medicines. An idea about reducing the percentage of deaths in poor countries is

drug

companies

to decrease the

prices

of their products which are sold in areas with low levels of wealth. Obviously,

this

idea will be helpful for poor humans for plenty of reasons. To start with,

companies

which produce drugs choose to sell them at high

prices

because of the high demand and need for them. Of course, selling a product at the highest price that it can be sold, is the best way for

companies

to be rich.

For instance

, a new medicine for cancer is logical to be sold as gold because it will be unique and will save a lot of lives.

On the other hand

, if

drug

factories and

companies

think about people who cannot afford the cost of their products and the right of those people to live equally as the others, they will decline the

prices

.

This

can happen, as I mentioned previously, because the

companies

choose to sell their drugs at the highest potential price and of course, there is the possibility to sell them at lower

prices

without a significant loss.

For example

, a new

drug

can be sold from $10 to $30. Obviously,

companies

will sell it at the price of 30$ but they can

also

offer it for $10 with a loss of $20.

However

, they will cover the expenditures of the

drug

production even though they lose money.

To conclude

, I am of the opinion that

companies

should reduce the

prices

of their products if they want to help a lot of people who live in bad living conditions. They can do it with a slight loss of their income but it will be for a good reason, raising the health expectancy.

Thus

, why not to help the humanity?
