Great, detailed article in @statnews by @edsilverman, delving into new report on global TB R&D funding from TAG + @StopTB. Vastly more funding is needed to produce tools to end TB, and public sector's share of overall investments is slowing. Read more: https://t.co/ivfZHTs0Ph

Congrats @DanaherCorp & @CepheidNews! 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! https://t.co/Q1octt6TZY

The World Health Organization (WHO) has granted prequalification to the molecular diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB) called Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra. It is the first test for TB diagnosis and antibi...

Access issues are a symptom of underlying problems in how donor countries invest in health. Ahead of the next #GlobalFund replenishment, we explain how #Canada can ensure access thru better value for investments. @HealthLawAdamH @WaiteRobyn @LeighRaithby

A reminder on #WorldChildrensDay that 1.3 million children fell ill with #tuberculosis in 2023, causing 200,000 paediatric deaths from a disease that's curable & preventable. Govts & funders must urgently prioritise children in research funding & program implementation. #EndTB
Every year ~1.25M children (0-14 yrs) get #TB, but ONLY HALF are diagnosed. Our TACTiC (Test, Avoid, Cure TB in Children) report surveyed 14 countries w/ high TB burden & found that many countries lag behind in aligning their national TB policies with @WHO guidelines. 🧵👇

And more than 2 in 5 of the people who are infected with drug-resistant TB are never diagnosed! @DanaherCorp, your tests could help bridge that gap and bolster the fight against AMR, if you put #PeopleOverProfits and come forward with the promised audit. #TimeFor5
Every year, drug-resistant TB causes 410,000 infections and 160,000 deaths. Low and middle-income countries bear the heaviest burden. We can't #EndTB without urgent AMR action. #WAAW2024

Medicines do nothing if we do not DIAGNOSE the disease. It is time for $5. WE NEED DANAHER and CEPHEID to drop the price of GeneXperts tests for XDR-TB, HIV & Hepatitis! #UnionConf #CommunitiesAreExperts @affordabledrugs

"We are forced to watch our patients die because they cannot afford treatments that could save their lives." -Dr. Benard Pécoul, MSF at the WTO (1999, Brussels). 25 years later, we’re still asking: Why are people dying from a curable disease? #UnionConf @affordabledrugs

Lack of solidarity from industry is a huge barrier for scaling up testing & meeting targets. @DanaherCorp's averse attitude towards audit transparency & @CepheidNews' absence at #UnionConf2024 only corroborates MSF's COGS evidence. Imagine the solutions if stakeholders team up!
We're still looking for @CepheidNews & @DanaherCorp, to personally hand over our petition of >200K signatures asking them to drop the price of all GeneXpert medical tests to $5 each. They didn't show up at TB #UnionConf2024. Do they really care about #TB? 🤔 #TimeFor5

Insane stat from @WaiteRobyn @TBAlliance: that not only are TB communities rarely included in consultation for new medications, but also that it takes an average of nine years for new medications and regimens to reach the people that need them. [Here at the #TBUnion conference in

Despite substantial funding support, corporations continue to price these life-saving TB tests beyond the reach of many. Why are these essential tests still inaccessible for one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases? #UnionConf24 #EndTB

For future medical tools, we want countries and donors to start attaching access requirements to public funding that is given for R&D. Only then can we guarantee access and affordability of tests and treatments. @Christo51566018 #UnionConf2024 @MSF_access

We’re at the opening ceremony of the #UnionConference, united in the fight to end TB. We believe it’s possible end TB and we can do it through gender transformation. We demand increased funding and the implementation of gender-transformative actions in TB response. #TB #EndTB
