In response to years of immense public pressure, Johnson & Johnson finally stopped fighting tooth and nail to defend its monopoly on bedaquiline (an MDR-TB drug). Not even 5 months later they are advertising it before Congress HELP Committee Dems as altruism. You lost. It's not philanthropy.
Home health aides care for those experiencing illness, injury, or other conditionsβyet they may not be considered care workers. In his Expert Column, Vishakh Unnikrishnan analyzes how the vague definitions of care workers create legal hurdles. #WHWWeek oneill.law.georgetown.edu/who-is-a-care-β¦

So very proud of this and the excellent work done by Matthew Kavanagh and our brilliant team O'Neill Institute. This report and the platform launching with it is urgently needed now. Coming soon. ππΏππΏ
Strongly agree with this thread to address the CD4 cliff: we're at risk of losing HIV tests & entry into care for #AIDS/ advanced #HIV disease. To support, consider endorsing the #NairobiCD4Declaration here: bit.ly/ONI_AHD_CD4_cr⦠#FightAIDSCoalition Fight AIDS Coalition
π¨In a blow to stellar medicine access activism work (law, science, price) MSF International bosses decide to foolishly close off MSF ACCESS CAMPAIGN MSF Access Campaign Bizzare own goal for Global South access work. The most dedicated, encyclopedic knowledge team I ever worked with. A privilege. ππ½
[THREAD] The African Alliance, along with more than 100 other CSOs, has signed an open letter to MSF International calling for the protection of their MSF Access Campaign campaign. We believe the decision to restructure access work endangers the gains made by the medicines access movement at large.
π¨π¨NEW: MSF Access Campaign MSF Access Campaign report: Secrets Cost Lives β Transparency and Access to Medical Products This report outlines why progress towards equity in access to medical products can only be built on the open sharing of information and knowledge - not on secrets π§΅
