It's always refreshing and reassuring when we read stories of billionaires who aim to direct some of their wealth to altruistic ends. So thank you for sharing this one with us Raj!
Forgive me for being a cynic when it comes to Big Pharma in general:
“Big Pharma needs sick people to prosper. Patients, not healthy people, are their customers. If everybody was cured of a particular illness or disease, pharmaceutical companies would lose 100% of their profits on the products they sell for that ailment. What all this means is because modern medicine is so heavily intertwined with the financial profits culture, it’s a sickness industry more than it is a health industry.”
