The Thai Public Health Ministry yesterday accepted for consideration American pharmaceutical giant Merck's offer of free anti-Aids medication, in the form of a syrup, to treat 2,500 Thai HIV-positive children.

Merck's proposal was seen as another bid by the company to convince the ministry not to put the firm's Aids drug Efavirenz under its compulsory licensing policy.
