Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH - Nomination for Public Eye Award 2005 in the category human rights
Nominated by: BUKO Pharma Campaign, Germany
According to investigations by the BUKO Pharma Campaign, some of the drugs produced by Boe-hringer are ineffective and hazardous, and they are distributed with unethical marketing methods. More than half of the drugs sold to countries of the South are not meeting approved standards. The corporation in addition values intellectual property rights higher than the human right of access to life-sustaining medication. The NGO therefore demands that the production of hazardous drugs be stopped and the patents on essential drugs released.
