@Craig_A_Spencer @paimadhu @MSF_access @MSFsci @DNDi @DreJoanneLiu @doctorsoumya @GHS @daktari1 @CKyobutungi @PeterHotez @udnore @yodifiji This double standard is still ongoing - especially for mAbs as post-exposure prophylaxis where this is still held back from high-risk community contacts when it’s obvious that this is life saving, could break transmission chains and end an outbreak earlier. Heartbreaking.

If you develop therapeutics for diseases which primarily affect low income settings you have a responsibility to ensure those products actually reach these populations #Ebola @MSF_access @julienpotet

Having worked with two other filoviruses #Ebola Sudan and #MarburgVirus during last couple of months in #Uganda and #Tanzania where there are no approved products but promising candidates we need to ensure products reaching patients both pre- and post approval @JaneRuth_Aceng
Dr Armand Sprecher, MSF : Biggest missed opportunity missed is in the Ebola therapeutics trial agreement since they didn’t mention about affordability and accessibility of therapeutics for countries in Africa where trial was done.

Its time #Ebola mAbs are used to their full potential! This includes as post-exposure prophylaxis for high-risk community contacts in future outbreak to lower mortality and break transmission chain to control outbreaks earlier. @MSF_access
High risk groups that should have got the drug are being left out because of this already which could have helped in curtailing the transmission.

Important landmark to ensure greater access to bedaquiline - a life saving drug and the backbone of all oral and shorter DR-TB regimens. Activism works. @MSF_access
GOOD NEWS! ⚡ A patent challenge by two tuberculosis (TB) survivors was successful! The Indian Patent Office rejected Johnson & Johnson’s (@JNJNews) attempt to extend its monopoly on the lifesaving TB drug bedaquiline. 🧵👇🏽

@HelenBranswell @WHO Thanks, @HelenBranswell - any info on how they can start with only 100 doses? 100 doses = 10 rings = 1(-2) infected person. Current numbers 36 cases = 360 rings needed already

Years of TB progress have been reversed during covid-19 with rise in deaths first time in more than a decade. Massive need for scale up of diagnosis of TB - but supply delays jeopardize this. @CepheidNews need to prioritize production of TB cartridges!
📢 MSF warns that supply delays of critical #TB test by @CepheidNews will cost lives. Read more 👇

. #Pfizer vaccine: 76p to produce, £22 sales price to governments. Already the most profitable drug in history. Norway must call a halt to this pandemic profiteering and support the #TRIPSwaiver NOW! @jonasgahrstore @AHuitfeldt @ingvildkjerkol @Senterpartiet @SVparti @Raudt
