lpv:translated text	". HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria kill around 20 000 people every day, and thousands more new clinical cases are diagnosed. These diseases are particularly prevalent in developing countries, especially in the least developed countries ravaged by war, poverty, economic decline and the collapse of essential public services, especially health care systems. The harsh reality is that ‘millions of people in developing countries continue to die each year from infectious diseases, most of which can be prevented and cured by medicine’. This is the profit-driven approach, an approach that commercialises health, adopted by the large pharmaceutical multinationals which are primarily based in developed countries. Patents on medicines and lack of investment in the production of local medicines are thus significant hurdles that must be overcome. Any minor progress in the framework of the WTO continues to come up against formidable financial interests. The EU programme currently under discussion, aimed at combating these diseases, is to be welcomed, yet does not go far enough. The efforts of the international community must focus especially on strengthening the human, institutional and infrastructural resources of developing countries, particularly in order to restore public services and basic health care systems and to ensure that medicine can be produced independently."@en1
