Dear 🇬🇧, If you want to fix the NHS, these are the most important issues that need to be addressed. End NHS underfunding / privatisation, end the staff haemorrhage, stop cutting beds, and fix social care. Visit change.nhs.uk and tell the govt! #SOSNHS

🚨Tony Blair's Private Finance Initiative deals crippled our NHS. So why is Wes Streeting now considering new PFI plans that would end our NHS as you know it? Read and share our analysis of new private healthcare plans the govt is said to be considering. weownit.org.uk/blog/wes-stree…

Farangiz from #Uzbekistan is suffering without access to #Trikafta. She has little hope of surviving past childhood without lifesaving drugs. Vertex Pharmaceuticals have recouped their CF R&D costs 3x over - they could choose to give access to all, but prefer to turn their backs. 😢😡

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Five years on from FDA approval of #Trikafta, tens of thousands of patients in many countries don't have access because the drug is priced out of their reach Vertex Pharmaceuticals need to make global access at a fair price, a priority. #cysticfibrosis #trikafta4all #65roses #breathe

Giving people #Ozempic is not going to change their poor eating habits or lack of exercise. Wes Streeting suggesting obese people don’t work is a dangerous and lazy stereotype. BBC News (UK) BBCSundayMorningLive

Children with #CysticFibrosis in #India are dying without access to #Trikafta 😢. Vertex Pharmaceuticals talk about a ‘donation programme’ but there’s little evidence of patients receiving the medicine they desperately need. Just more empty words from Vertex 😡💊🌍 #Trikafta4All

Today marks the start of Men's Mental Health Month. Men, especially those under the age of fifty, are taking their lives in the UK at 80+ a week on average. I've lost a cousin and also a friend to suicide. This month (and every month) let's check our mates are OK. Really OK.

Huge thanks to all the NHS staff who are doing their best to keep the health service going despite having far fewer staff than we need. We see what you do, and couldn’t be more grateful 💙

The NHS might be struggling right now, but thank goodness no one in the UK will be asked to pay $807.96 for insulin. We must never stop fighting to keep it that way.

#GoodNewsWednesday ?? Tell that to Heinchen who, like 63% of #CysticFibrosis families in #SouthAfrica, still cannot access #Trikafta for her daughter because she doesn’t have high-end medical insurance. 😢 Shame that the CompComSA has fallen for Vertex Pharmaceuticals’s lies. 😡
