A lot has been said about the implementation of the said WTO decision by Third World countries. While some writers contend that the deal on the implementation of Paragraph 6 of the Doha Declaration has been beneficial to Developing Country members, others postulate that it has not brought any meaningful change to the health plight of citizens of these countries and has worsened instead of ameliorating their condition.' Therefore, the purpose of this study shall be thus: a. Discuss the reasons for the incorporation of a multilateral agreement on intellectual property within the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework b. Analyse Paragraph 6 of the Doha Declaration stating the flexibilities it brought to certain provisions of TRIPS. c. Evaluate the problems encountered, and the benefits accruing to African countries as a result of the WTO 30 August decision on the implementation of Paragraph 6 of the Doha Declaration and investigate whether the costs have been more than the benefits or vice versa.enacquired immune deficiency syndromeanti-retroviralzidovudineEuropean CommissionFree Trade AreaTRIPS and the WTO August 2003 deal on medicines: is it a gift bound in a red tape to developing countries?Thesis
