Dear Friend,
Imagine going to your doctor with a life-threatening disease
and finding out that, though a treatment exists, it is either too
expensive, no longer produced, or it no longer works. This happens
to hundreds of thousands of people around the world every day.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) believes
this can -- and must -- change. YOU CAN HELP.

Why? The vast majority of new medicines are researched and
developed in the private pharmaceutical industry and
government-funded research institutions in the U.S. But because there
is no profit to be made from diseases affecting the world's poor,
research and development of treatments for diseases such as sleeping
sickness and malaria has come to a standstill.
Let your government and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers
of America (PhRMA) know that you care about people with neglected
diseases, and that treatments for these diseases must be found.
