NEW DELHI: Indian pharmaceutical tycoon Yusuf Hamied revolutionised AIDS treatment more than a decade ago by supplying cut-price drugs to the world's poor - and now he wants to do the same for cancer.

"Reducing the price of cancer drugs is a humanitarian move."

India firm shakes up cancer drug market with price cuts | DAWN.COM

Hamied, 76, was pilloried by Western drug giants 11 years ago when he broke their monopoly by offering to supply life-saving triple therapy AIDS drug cocktails for under $1 a day - one-thirtieth the price of the multinationals.

    If they're the ones that work without killing the patient - they are probably illegal here anyhow. But the rest of the world might get some benefit from them.

      I'm betting that Mr. Hamied does not steel or use stolen resources to provide or pay for his services.

      But I could be wrong.
