💥Historic news today!💥 #Trikafta (ETI) is the first CF treatment to be added to the @WHO ‘Essential Medicines List’. We’ve worked tirelessly with academics & allies to make this possible. This listing must translate into access for all. Govt’s & @VertexPharma must step up.

Great to be mentioned in this paper about access to CF modulators in Brazil, following our involvement there in 2022/3. We know threatening Vertex’s monopoly with compulsory licensing is the ONLY language they respond to = lower pricing. Read more: https://t.co/YKBfgfnJJZ 🇧🇷

@VertexSaveUs @VertexPharma @CompComSA This is what keeps me up at night. How can there be miracle drug for those of us born with CF, yet the barrier to get it is $30,000 per month?!?! UNCONSCIONABLE

South African #cysticfibrosis patient JC speaks about about @VertexPharma’s inhumane & inequitable ‘access programme’ that means that only the privileged can access Trikafta, while he & the other 50% are left behind. The @CompComSA must re-open their investigation now. 😡

Today we’ve been @CompComSA to deliver a dossier of evidence showing that @VertexPharma has misled them & that 50% of CF patients in SA are still dying w/o access to #Trikafta. They must reopen their investigation into Vertex’s anti-competitive behaviour. No one left behind!

Nothing surprises us when it comes to the greed & inhumane behaviour of @VertexPharma. Children are dying w/o access to #Trikafta due to the unaffordable price. Vertex’s response - to INCREASE the price. That says everything about their utter disregard for CF patients 🤬

Amazing news from #Turkey today - CF patients aged 6+ will have access to #Trikafta. ❤️ BUT… Why did it take 6 years whilst @VertexPharma blocked efforts to access affordable alternatives? How many young lives were lost? 😞 And 000’s globally are still waiting 😡 #CFCantWait

It’s hard to believe what happened at #ECFC2025... @VertexPharma SHUT US OUT - three CF mums - from their "community meeting" for wanting to ask critical questions about #Trikafta access. But we didn't stop there… Read full blog to find out more ⬇️ https://t.co/L45Mi7ifKK

At many major cystic fibrosis conferences including in Vienna, Glasgow, Phoenix, Boston, and now Milan - Vertex Pharmaceuticals takes centre stage to promote their image. But away from the spotlight...

@VertexPharma hiding from the truth! #Cysticfibrosis
Our representatives were blocked from entering a ‘CF community’ meeting at the European CF Conference in Milan by @VertexPharma. Inexcusable & indefensible. #Trikafta4All #RightToBreathe

Thank you @VertexSaveUs for your tenacity, your courage, and your righteous indignation. Until everyone who needs CF drugs has access to those drugs, the story of cystic fibrosis remains one of sorrow.
We are here at #ECFC2025 to speak out on behalf of thousands of CF families around the world that cannot access #Trikafta. 🫁💊🌎 @VertexPharma should be ashamed. #GlobalCFFamily #Trikafta4All #RightToBreathe

.@vertexpharma only want the 'CF community' from higher income countries that have access to their extortionately priced modulator therapy #Trikafta They don't want to answer questions from @VertexSaveUs in a public meeting The reality: Tens of thousands don't have access
Our representatives were blocked from entering a ‘CF community’ meeting at the European CF Conference in Milan by @VertexPharma. Inexcusable & indefensible. #Trikafta4All #RightToBreathe
