News Briefs Jamaica: Company to Begin Selling Generic Anti-AIDS DrugsDecember 17, 2001 A Jamaican food company announced that it would begin selling generic AIDS-fighting drugs at a reduced rate in Jamaica, lowering the price by as much as 80 percent. "Many patients no longer have to fill only half their prescriptions because they cannot afford it," said Lascelles Chin, chair of Lasco Group food distributor. The Ministry of Health said that there are other forms of generic drugs also available to people with HIV and AIDS.
