in medical aid to the country. In 2009, Apotex began providing medicines to the Mully Children's Family Foundation, an organization located outside of Nairobi, Kenya that is dedicated to rescuing and supporting orphaned and homeless children. Thus far, Apotex has provided three shipments of medications to the Foundation. Work with Canada's Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR) In 2004, the Pledge to Africa Act legislation enacted Canada's Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR), which pledged to improve access to drugs to developing countries that lack the resources to manufacture the medications or purchase them at cost. The CAMR allowed for patents on medications to be overridden through a "compulsory licensing" so that generic drug manufacturers could supply these drugs to developing countries at lower prices. Beginning in 2005, Apotex worked on developing an HIV treatment involving three drugs, AZT, 3TC and Nevirapine, which could be sent to countries in need under CAMR. In September 2008, after four years of fighting "a morass of red tape and petty politics", Apotex shipped seven million doses of Apo-TriAvir, the generic AIDS medication that resulted from the research, to Rwanda. The shipment provided enough medication to treat 21,000 Rwandans for a full year. Philanthropy in Canada Apotex donated $1.5 million to The University of Saskatchewan's College of Pharmacy, which was the largest donation given to the College of Pharmacy. On August 22, 2013, Apotex announced that it would donate $10 million toward the construction of the new Humber River Hospital (HRH) in Toronto. Apotex's donation went towards the building of HRH's Emergency Department. Creation of the Apotex Foundation Apotex established the Apotex Foundation, a privately held charitable organization, which has donated over $50 million in medicines over the last 10 years. Critical medicines have been shipped to every disaster zone around the globe to provide assistance to humans in need. Expanding access to generic pharmaceuticals Apotex is known for actively fighting patent protections on brand-name drugs, primarily through litigation means. A The New York Times cover piece on Apotex's founder, Bernard Sherman, described Sherman's work to get new generic drugs to market as "something of a crusade." The article goes on to explain that while some generic drug manufacturers cut deals with brand-name manufacturers over drug patents, Sherman and Apotex are against such deal-making. In a 2008 article on pharmaceutical patent cases, The Globe and Mail cited Apotex as being "prepared to wage expensive courtroom battles
