.@MSF recently announced it will be dismantling its @MSF_access Campaign, which has been a voice, a beacon, and a reference for many within and beyond the access to medicines movement. We urge MSF to reverse its decision.
JUST IN: Over 100 organizations and 200 individuals have issued an open letter to @MSF regarding the future of the @MSF_access Campaign, emphasizing the need for continued and expanded efforts to improve global access to essential medicines and healthcare. #SaveMSFAC…
The open letter to @MSF expressing concern about the closing of the Access Campaign is still open for signatories: forms.gle/coUhVDmVb3TaAB… 119 organizations and 275 individuals have signed, including a former Prime Minister, former WHO Directors, a former MSF SG, and many more.
If you’re aware of @MSF_Access MSF Access Campaign’s work and concerned about the harms that will come from @MSF’s planned dismantling of this group, please sign this open letter asking MSF to reverse this disastrous decision:
(If you don't want to read a 🧵and want to skip to the part where I tell you how you can join the effort - here's a link to sign the open letter: forms.gle/coUhVDmVb3TaAB… And yes- please share far and wide, to colleagues, friends, nemeses, or anyone who cares abt drug access.) 2/
GIFT FOR PHARMA’: MSF SLAMMED OVER DECISION TO SHUT ACCESS CAMPAIGN pro.politico.eu/news/health-mi… @msf
This is shocking news to all who understand the work and the extent of the expertise of the @MSF @MSF_access team.
🚨In a blow to stellar medicine access activism work (law, science, price) @MSF bosses decide to foolishly close off MSF ACCESS CAMPAIGN @MSF_access Bizzare own goal for Global South access work. The most dedicated, encyclopedic knowledge team I ever worked with. A privilege. 🙏🏽
There is literally zero chance that @Danaher lowers their TB test prices without the work of @MSF_access MSF Access has led our community's TB fighters and in doing so saved countless lives. We're so grateful for their work and utterly baffled by MSF's decision here.

This seems like a big mistake from my former colleagues @MSF Since its inception @MSF_access has fought for patients access to medicines and achieved great successes.

Big loss. Terrible decision. I and @IMAKglobal have worked with @MSF_access team since 2004 when India changed its patent laws to comply with the WTO TRIPS agreement. They've been pivotal pushing for making medicines more available/affordable globally. statnews.com/pharmalot/2024…
I can think of few more impactful organizations in the world than the @MSF_access campaign. Dismantling it is a massive loss that’s already being felt.

If you don't work directly in access to medicines (even if you're a humanitarian), it is easy to underestimate @MSF_access But i for one am deeply influenced by AC vaccine experts on a daily basis. No one else does what they do. This is bleak statnews.com/pharmalot/2024… @statnews
MMA expresses solidarity with @MSF_access Campaign team and is concerned about the potential consequences of dismantling such an important project, including reduced leverage against very powerful institutions that hold healthcare hostage for their profit-making. @DrChristou 🧵
Quite distressing that MSF is dismantling its access to medicine team. This is a significant blow to patients living the developing countries who are struggling to gain access.
TAG is devastated by news of @MSF_access' imminent closure. High-quality care delivery is most effective in tandem with a strategy to confront structural drivers of global health disparities. We call on @MSF to reverse this decision. Our open letter: treatmentactiongroup.org/letter/an-open…
If you care about access to affordable medical tests for all, please sign this petition. I just did! Ask @DanaherCorp & @CepheidNews to put #PeopleOverProfits by reducing the price of ALL their lifesaving GeneXpert tests to $5 each – to save more lives! timefor5.msfaccess.org
