What is Health GAP (Global
Access Project)?
We are an organization of U.S.-based AIDS and human rights
activists, public health experts, fair trade advocates and
concerned individuals who campaign against policies of neglect
and avarice that deny treatment to millions and fuel the
spread of HIV. We are dedicated to eliminating barriers
to global access to affordable life-sustaining medicines
for people living with HIV/AIDS as key to a comprehensive
strategy to confront and ultimately stop the AIDS pandemic.
We believe that the human right to life and to health must
prevail over the pharmaceutical industry's excessive profits
and expanding patent rights.
What does Health GAP
do?
We campaign for drug access and the resources necessary
to sustain access for people with HIV/AIDS across the globe.
We work with allies in the global South and in the G-7 countries
to formulate policies that promote access, mobilize grassroots
support for those policies, and confront governmental policy
makers, the pharmaceutical industry and international agencies
when their policies or practices block access.
What is the Health GAP
Action Network?
The Health GAP action network furthers the struggle for
global AIDS treatment access. From letter writing to protests
