I am in Toronto, having just attended the GHS. Had an info booth, presented a poster, and did a talk about medication pricing. Video link to come



I also made a compilation of stories sent to me by hepsters on facebook:

Hi, here is a 3 min version of this from last month, better for sharing-

And a handout I made to take - this is for anyone to use, show their doctor

Thanks Hazel. Great work.

Hi Hazel,

I'm happy to see your presentation. I just want to bring to your attention that TRIPS article 60 allows for the importation of generics to any member nation for a 3 month supply.

"In accordance with Article 60, Members may exclude from the application of these procedures de minimis imports, i.e. small quantities of goods of a non-commercial nature contained in travellers' personal luggage or sent in small consignments."

I received my medication in the USA and I was not part of Dr. Freeman's Redemption trial; and I did declare it to customs. It is totally legal.

Hi Greedfighter,

Article 60 of the World Trade Organisation says members may, rather than must...

Many countries prohibit personal imports.

The FDA rules are here: www.fda.gov/forindustry/importprogram/im...basics/ucm432661.htm

And basically say it is illegal except if...

So the reality is that personal inportation is not a right in the USA. It is a discretionary power around the “except if...”

The FDA has been clamping down on it so as you’ve said before - if you are sitting on the fence get yours while the getting is good!
