It was not feasible for drug companies to develop medicines and drugs for poor people in under-developed countries due to their very low standard of living.
Many poor people in poor countries live on less than two dollars a day and can't even find a clean glass of water and have no form of sanitation or infra-structure to deliver much need food, medicines and child care services.
Therefore, any drug that would be developed by the drug companies would never be purchased by the poor, who would need that particular drug. It would be cost ineffective for corporate drug companies to research and develop any needed medicine or drug. The companies would never be able to recoup their initial investment.
Did Bil and Melinda Gates do the right thing by helping people in other countries, when there is so much to do in the United States?
Are you encouraged by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffert in giving so much of their wealth to others abroad?
Your thoughts...
