HIV Positive denied essential drug again.

April 11, 2007

Dear Forum,

Greetings.

I here by inform you all that Dr. Jack Preagger had done the same unethical

work. Again he refused to give 2ndline ARV drug to one positive people of West

Bengal. All you know that the medicine does not stopped when it was started

once. But he has done this things for several times. The positive people are

coming from poor economic background and they have not enough money to buy the

medicine from the market.

These medicines which was given by Dr. Jack Preagger has brought a new chance

to them of live long again. Because the Govt. authority will not agree to give

those medicines free of cost as they have no policy to give such medicines. Dr.

Jack Preagger stated that the beneficiaries don’t take the medicine regularly in

time So. It will not work properly.

But the allegation is not correct. If anybody missed the drug for one or

two-day, it does not mean that he has refused to provide him the drug forever

..It is a life saving drug. So he has no right to stop the drug in any

circumstances.

Once I protested against him, I wrote it in AIDS INDIA e FORUM before. After

that he threatened me over phone saying that I had to appolize otherwise he

filed a case against me on court.

But I make you remember that most of the positive people have no source of

earning, and the rest who are working in various project, they do not earn

sufficient to buy food and medicines both .They can only manage their livelihood

from the salary of the project in which they are involved.

But Dr. Jack Preagger has least brothered about that. He is a mind set person

..So he is doing the same thing repeatedly. Please create a voice against this

kind of attitude.
