USA-Peru Free Trade Agreement; Access to Medicines and Impact on Peruvian Public HealthJuly 22nd, 2009
FiledJuly 22nd, 2009This FTA is going to be implemented when Latin American societies are increasing the gap between rich and poor people (PNUD 1999) as a consequence of neoliberal policies in the last decades. This is also the current tendency in the global scenario. In 1997, the top 358 rich individuals got more money than 2, 3 billion of poorest people across the world. The next year, the 200 richest got more than 2, 5 billions of poorest people.2 These tendencies have also had negative consequences on health inequalities.
