🎥 The full picture: Imagine if a critical and effective HIV prevention medicine (lenacapavir) was more widely available. But instead, Gilead has priced the medicine out of reach, restricts its supply to certain countries, and refused to sell it directly to MSF. So people called it out.
🫶 People over profit! Calling on #Medsky #sciencesky - add your name to our call for global access to a HIV prevention breakthrough. Tell Gilead, the drug company that manufactures lenacapavir: Drop the price⬇️ https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/campaigns/access-to-LEN
Lenacapavir: Two Shots. $40. Everywhere.
A gamechanger in HIV prevention is now here: lenacapavir (LEN), an injection which only needs to be given twice a year and is nearly 100% effective in

This is not the way to successfully fight antimicrobial resistance. Drug resistance is a global problem, not just a national one. Here's what's happening with the PASTEUR Act. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/msf-p...
PASTEUR Act is not the way to curb AMR
Recently reintroduced in the US House and Senate, this legislation will do little to increase access to antimicrobials and address resistance in the places MSF runs medical programs.

No one should be denied access to health care simply because of who they are or who they love. Dignity should be at the center of receiving health care: LGBTQI+ patients should feel welcomed, safe, and listened to, and get the care they need.
A drug exists that is nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV and only needs to be taken twice a year. It's called lenacapavir. But Gilead, the company that controls it, isn't making enough available for the world. We know Gilead can make lenacapavir more accessible.
Health care is under attack in Lebanon despite a so-called ceasefire. In Lebanon, military escalation continues, causing civilian casualties, mass displacement, and shrinking access to health care.
Obstetric fistula is a horrible injury that happens during labor. It can cause chronic pain, recurring infections and women often face stigma. Here's what free surgical repair can do: https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/two-countries-one-injury-obstetric-fistula-nigeria-and-somalia
Two countries, one injury: Obstetric fistula in Nigeria and Somalia
Obstetric fistula is a devastating yet preventable condition that continues to affect women with limited access to pre- and postnatal care.

Unlike most previous Ebola disease outbreaks in Democratic Republic of Congo, the current outbreak is due to the Bundibugyo virus. There are currently no approved vaccines or treatments available for Bundibugyo.
Today’s view from Najdeh Al-Shaabiyeh Hospital in Nabatiyeh, Lebanon. The Israeli military’s ongoing escalation in Lebanon continues to cause mass displacement and severely impact access to health care.

We strongly condemn Israeli forces’ attacks against paramedics in Lebanon, including the May 12 killing of two Lebanese Civil Defense workers in Nabatiyeh who were actively trying to save someone who survived a previous attack.
