PRO: Hale's non-profit firm is developing drugs and vaccines against diseases of the developing world, like malaria and Chagas disease. OneWorld has already brought to market a drug for visceral leishmaniasis, a disease that sickens 1.5 million people in Asia and Africa.
CON: OneWorld's model, while commendable, does little to address the unaffordable cost of drugs for hundreds of other common diseases.
