Big Pharma is using Trump's tariffs to hold Europe hostage. But this isn’t about tariffs — it’s about profits. Europe needs to stand up to corporate blackmail. #PeopleOverProfit

“Developing countries are hesitant; one, because they don't have resources to implement such obligations [on prevention], and two, because the EU and other rich countries are not flexible in other matters,” said @piotrjankol. Read @mg_galvin 👇

👏 Celebramos el apoyo de @sanidadgob a @UNAIDS. ‼️ Una herramienta clave para cambiar el curso de la pandemia de #VIH y prevenir nuevas infecciones va a ser el acceso a PrEP de acción prolongada, como el #lenacapavir... ... y para eso necesitamos precios asequibles.👇
🌐 Reunión con @Winnie_Byanyima, directora ejecutiva de @UNAIDS España está comprometida con la lucha global contra el VIH/SIDA. Contribuimos con 1 millón de euros para impulsar la prevención y el tratamiento a nivel mundial, combatiendo la discriminación.

📢In a make or break moment for the access to medicines movement, we cannot afford to lose the expertise, leverage, and connections of @MSF_access. Read the joint letter we co-signed with over 100 CSOs and scores of engaged individuals: https://t.co/yjtu8qqDUQ

I hope that @DrChristou understands that the closure of @MSF_access doesn't just cause "anxiety" It guts the #AccessToMedicines movement It makes it easier for pharma companies to deny drugs to people in the Global South It means more people will die without the meds they need

When people learn that publicly funded development banks are financing expensive elite private hospitals in the Global South that are exploiting, harming and even imprisoning patients, naturally they call for this funding to stop. The problem is, too few people know! @IFC_org
.@GreensEFA MEPs wrote a letter to the @EIB calling on them to stop financing private hospitals. @Oxfam's research revealed that people are being bankrupted as rich country institutions, like the EIB, pour development billions into private healthcare.

Exciting update: We're thrilled to unveil our new name. Many medicines, just like vaccines, are developed with public funding & research. They are the people’s medicines. Our coalition is being renamed the People’s Medicines Alliance, to better reflect the breadth of our work.

📢J'interpelle, avec mes collègues @GreensEFA, la @EIB pour qu'elle cesse de financer des 🏥hôpitaux privés dont l'unique but est le profit ! Prix exorbitants, détention de patients... La banque publique de l'🇪🇺 doit s'assurer que ses prêts bénéficient vraiment aux populations👇
