Ministries of Health from several countries have written Danaher Corporation and Cepheid to request that the prices of #GeneXpert medical tests for for #XDRTB, #HIV, #hepatitis & other diseases be urgently reduced. MSF International supports their demands. #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…

How do companies like Cepheid & Danaher Corporation price their tests? Not based on transparent pricing and transparency in how much it costs to produce. Disclosing the cost of production are key to fair pricing. ⏰ We are still waiting for Cepheid's promised audit. #TimeFor5

Amazing song @TBFighterTofu. Cepheid and Danaher Corporation : please don’t come up just with a number. We want to know how you come to that number. #TimeFor5

True @nimeshpinn ! But innovation takes years before we see it arriving in our hospitals. And we can’t tell the people with TB to wait until we have better and cheaper tests. So it should be both: advocating for more innovation and advocating for fair prices of existing tests.

More than 70 TB activists from around the world called on Danaher Corporation and Cepheid at the The Union Conference to make all GeneXpert cartridges affordable for all and also to open their books and share the audit.

Hi Cepheid and Danaher Corporation. I was looking for you at the TB Union conference to hand over the signatures of >200,000 people asking you to drop the price of all your Xpert tests so that we can save more lives. But I couldn’t find you. Please don’t hide. #TimeFor5

Congrats Danaher Corporation & Cepheid! WHO PQ of the Xpert Ultra #TB test is a key step in ensuring quality & access. While you reduced this test's price to $7.97, we're waiting for price reductions of WHO PQ'ed HIV & hep tests still priced at $14.90 each! who.int/news/item/05-1…

And we also remind you that you committed to a third-party assessment of the cost of production of Xpert tests. Where is the audit? #PeopleOverProfits #TimeFor5 msfaccess.org/hidden-costs-g…

⏰ Ahead of #WorldTBDay, we’re sounding the alarm! Recent US funding cuts are undermining #TB care. This is especially alarming for children, who are at the highest risk of developing TB. The time for sustained funding for TB care is NOW. msfaccess.org/msf-calls-sust…

Today on #WorldTBDay, we’re calling for urgent, sustained funding to end TB in children. Children are highly vulnerable to TB: every 3 minutes, a child dies of TB. It's time for the world to step up, rollbacks are not an option: msfaccess.org/msf-calls-sust…
