...Novartis donates antileprosy drugs to India, sells antimalaria drugs at cost to the World Health Organization and has established a research center in Singapore to develop treatments for Third World diseases like tuberculosis, whose sufferers can't pay much. (He is not alone in this. Merck has set up anti-AIDS programs in Botswana, and Aventis is helping tackle AIDS in South Africa.)
