WASHINGTON: US pharmaceutical giant on Pfizer announced on Tuesday that it will greatly expand the number of medicines and vaccines it sells on a not-for-profit basis to the world's poorest countries.

Pfizer said it will now include off-patent medicines, bringing the total number of products on offer to around 500. Bourla said he hoped the latest move"will help us to achieve and even expedite our vision of a world where all people have access to the medicines and vaccines they need to live longer and healthier lives."

"This includes chemotherapies and oral cancer treatments that have the potential to treat nearly one million new cancer cases in Accord countries each year," the company said.
