South Africa: Tobeka Daki Died Fighting Roche. Her Death Will Not Be in Vain.

[Daily Maverick] On World Cancer Day on February 4, 2016, the Fix the Patent Laws coalition in South Africa launched the Campaign for Access to Trastuzumab to advocate for broad access to the WHO-recommended essential treatment for early stage and metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. One year later we are renaming the campaign the Tobeka Daki Campaign in memory of the woman who led our advocacy for trastuzumab during 2016 - while herself unable to access the potentially life-saving treatment.
