South Africa is facing a severe shortage of insulin pens, which are critical for people living with #diabetes. Why? @NovoNordisk, the corporation that makes them & is the South Africa govt’s main supplier said they will no longer produce human insulin pens!


UAEM Reposted

Today on #WorldDiabetesDay, we’re at @NovoNordisk offices in Johannesburg w/ a message: 📢Resume the supply of insulin pens in South Africa AND 📢DROP THE PRICE to $1/pen so ALL people living w/ #diabetes can manage their treatment. Insulin pens shouldn’t be a luxury!

Hey @NovoNordisk, don’t be two-faced! Do not choose profits over the lives of countless people in low- & middle-income countries who depend on insulin pens to manage their #diabetes. Make insulin pens AVAILABLE & AFFORDABLE for all! Put #PeopleOverProfits

The new draft of the @WHO #PandemicAgreement has progressed, but the language in several key equity-related provisions is weak & insufficient. This briefing document analyses the current text & makes recommendations to address these shortcomings. msfaccess.org/pandemic-agree…

Interesting piece on #tuberculosis💊drug research, but big issues left untouched: -#UBC has track record of not walking the walk on global access - Key existing drugs for DR-TB not available in Canada -🇨🇦still lags behind on access & benefit-sharing (ABS) for Indigenous knowledge

Researchers at the University of British Columbia are using a North American wildflower called bloodroot — long used by First Nations in traditional medicine — to fight drug-resistant tuberculosis. thetyee.ca/News/2024/10/2…

@MSF_canada has been calling on🇨🇦Canada to use the BMC to make products that the for-profit industry isn't supplying for use during global public health emergencies, and make them available to countries & humanitarian organizations free of charge or on a cost-recovery basis.

1.25 million people died of a CURABLE disease LAST YEAR. We’re not waiting on technological advancements to allow us to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent tuberculosis. We’ve already done that step. We just need to get it to the people who need it. #TimeFor5

1.25 million lives lost to tuberculosis last year, and the threat of antimicrobial resistance is only growing. Every life lost is preventable. Let’s prioritize TB as a global health emergency. Read the @WHO's full report 👉who.int/teams/global-t… #YesWeCanEndTB
