Letter: If Big Pharma won't act, then perhaps states will

Published 2 July 2025

From Bryn Glover, Kirkby Malzeard, North Yorkshire, UK

The article on new discoveries about cancer cells and nerve cells was very upbeat until near the end, when the pharmaceutical industry’s reluctance to fund work on out-of-patent drugs was raised. I can think of no better argument for the creation of a state-owned drugs manufacturing industry(14 June, p 30).
