The HEALTH INDUSTRY by Vittorio Agnoletto
Medicines, privatization, and business. Why another medicine is needed
Our Constitution recognizes the protection of health as a universal right and guarantees care to the indigent. But today, the ability to get treatment increasingly depends on the size of an individual’s wallet. Daily, we hear reports of long waiting lists and citizens who forgo treatment, but rarely do we go beyond the headlines, searching for the causes and responsibilities behind this situation.

The HEALTH INDUSTRY by Vittorio Agnoletto
Medicines, privatization, and business. Why another medicine is needed
Our Constitution recognizes the protection of health as a universal right and guarantees care to the indigent. But today, the ability to get treatment increasingly depends on the size of an individual’s wallet. Daily, we hear reports of long waiting lists and citizens who forgo treatment, but rarely do we go beyond the headlines, searching for the causes and responsibilities behind this situation.
Healthcare, from cure to assistance and medications, is today one of the world’s largest markets, involving major industrial groups and financial funds. A small group of pharmaceutical companies, Big Pharma, has the monopoly, in the West, on the production of medicines; TRIPs agreements on patents prevent millions of people from accessing care. The attempt to build a public pharmaceutical company of European size was immediately opposed. Prevention is reduced to the bare minimum.
In Italy, the weight of private healthcare is constantly growing; but public and private healthcare have opposing goals, the first grows on health, the second on illness.
The book, intertwining the local and global dimensions, addresses several planes: from the consequences of the dismantling of the NHS and the penetration of the private sector into public health to possible forms of activism and the strategies necessary to regain the right to health.
