Absolutely Elianne Moene. And we have a good screening test that can be used in low resource settings, the GeneXpert HPV test. Unfortunately priced by Danaher Corporation at $14.90 … 3x more than it should be. #TimeFor5
Please take a minute to read how MSF International together with MoH apply new approaches to improve diagnosis and treatment of children with #Tuberculosis at Makeni regional hospital in Sierra Leone. msf.or.ke/news-and-resou… via MSF East Africa
18 investors - with over $400 billion in assets - have sent an open letter to Danaher Corporation requesting full transparency of the audit to validate Cepheid cost of production of GeneXpert tests. This is a no brainer right Danaher Corporation? #TimeFor5 iccr.org/reports/invest…
Dr. Trisha Tadani, working in the MSF International Tondo project in Manila, the Philippines, explains why affordable medical tests can save lives. Don’t forget to watch Danaher Corporation and Cepheid. #TimeFor5

In 2023, MSF Access Campaign and TB activists achieved significant wins for the treatment and diagnosis of multidrug-resistant TB, with price reductions on crucial drugs and diagnostics. 🙌 Learn more in this piece by Shailly Gupta and Dr Cathy Hewison👇 msf.org/international-…
TB tests CAN be more affordable, if they were priced based on the actual cost of goods and a reasonable profit. World Health Organization (WHO)'s TPPs emphasize the need to reach all individuals in need of testing, with price being one of its main barriers. #PeopleOverProfit iris.who.int/bitstream/hand…
