MSF PROTEST PETITION

The Access Campaign is implementing an initiative consisting in
gathering as many signatures as possible to protest the lawsuit lodged by 39 pharmaceutical companies against the Government of South Africa's recently approved legislation to render essential drugs affordable.

Signatures are gathered through the MSF websites. The Communication
Department has decided to send e-mails to friends, colleagues, institutions, organisations and others, to let people know the problem South Africa is facing and gather as many signatures a possible thus condemning the lawsuit lodged by the companies.

Here below, you will find the text included in the e-mails being sent,
explaining the problem as well as the Campaign.
Support the Campaign by sending this text to all your contacts thus enabling us to gather more signatures.

Log into www.msf.es (MSF Spain) or www.msf.org (MSF International) to cast your vote.

Thank you all for your collaboration.

The case will be heard on April 18th next.
