Britain's Royal College of Nursing has ended its commercial partnership with Teva Pharmaceuticals UK, citing the Israeli firm's links to the country's military and its corporate record, The Guardian reported.
The nursing union's decision breaks a business relationship with the pharmaceutical company, which has supplied drugs to the National Health Service. The move follows growing pressure on British institutions to reassess ties with Israeli firms over their military connections and practices.
