Dear Friends,
I am writing this letter on behalf of the KFHR and activists of S. Korea.
The KFHR(Korean Federation of Medical Groups for Health Rights) is a progressive NGO of Medical Doctors, Dentists, Doctors of Oriental Medicine, Pharmacists, Medical Workers, and Activists who are concerned of Health Rights.
The Korean National Assembly is now having debates on the amendment of the patent law, and small number of people who are interested in patent law and accessibility to medicine are working on this issue. Our group and some progressive politicians have made a proposal of the bill, and it is to be debated early next month.
What we need is, comments or statements supporting our bill from many activists and NGOs by 5th of November. We need your support because the power of politicians supportging the other proposal is so strong, and they are supported by powerful multinational corporations and scholars. So we need some voice that our proposal is a demand that could be universally accepted to achieve health right. I will attach our proposed bill with this email to help your understanding.
Can you help us by sending your supporting email to me(mdclara@korea.com), and ask your group to support us?
In solidarity,
Clara Kim, MD
International Contactant of the KFHR
