Cheap Malaria Pill for Africa

A French drugmaker Sanofi will market a cheap pill to treat malaria in Africa where the disease claims numerous lives. The pill will cost less than $1 for adults and 50 cents for children under 5. Sanofi didn't patent the drug, meaning that more companies can produce cheap spinoffs as well, a move that was meant to increase the potential access for the people. The drug will be distributed through nongovermental organizations and international organizations which I'm interpreting as not through the governments of the countries that will be receiving the drug. Such a move is deemed necessary in my mind given the level of corruption in many of the governments. One concern that I have is that a group may steal shipments of the drug and mark up the price, but we shall see. Hopefully the drug will get to the people who are intended to receive it.
