Why is MSF fighting @pfizer in court? 1) Pfizer's attempts to secure patents to extend its monopoly will prevent more affordable #vaccines being produced by competitors and lead to even more preventable child deaths. We will NOT back down while children's lives are at stake.

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

.@Pfizer makes a vaccine that could prevent millions of children from dying of pneumonia. So why are they fighting us in court to stop other companies producing a more affordable version of this product?

[MSF Afghanistan @MSF_Afghanistan]

.@MSF team is saddened by the loss of dozens of lives in a double suicide attack this morning in #Kabul #Afghanistan. MSF has donated comprehensive medical supplies to cover 25 major surgical interventions in Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital, where dozens of wounded are being treated

Do you believe that medicines shouldn’t be a luxury? If you’re a digital content producer who knows how to mobilize online communities, it might be time put your talents to work at the MSF Access Campaign. Apps due by April 24th https://t.co/3ADzlZYVdP

[MSF South Asia @MSF_SouthAsia]

During the acute phase of an #emergency, when mortality rates can soar in just a few weeks, the main challenge for @MSF is to save as many lives in as short a time as possible. But how does MSF decide what’s to be done the most urgently — when everything seems so urgent?

[MSF Afghanistan @MSF_Afghanistan]

.@MSF activities in #Afghanistan increase year after year. Almost 40 years in the country, 6 projects in 5 provinces and hundreds of thousands of Afghans receiving free quality healthcare

"If the level of brutality has brought humanity close to collapse, you are the reason why a piece of it is still alive"

A heart-wrenching letter to the doctors working in #EastGhouta #Syria https://t.co/46pzcNLz3F

[MSF International @MSF]

Women’s specific health needs are exacerbated by being on the move.

Displaced women have many of the same women’s health concerns as women anywhere, such as a need for access to family planning and a safe place to deliver babies. #IWD2018 https://t.co/SQkdZvUdml

Today, March 8th, is International Women’s day! What are you doing to #PressforProgress ?

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

We need immediate ceasefire on the ground not just on paper to treat sick and wounded in #EastGhouta #Syria.

Civilian areas must not be hit - before, during, and after any pause in fighting.

[MSF South Asia @MSF_SouthAsia]

"If doctors and nurses collapse, humanity collapses"

A female doctor who manages a field hospital in #EastGhouta, #Syria and who has been supported by @MSF since 2013, recorded her thoughts about the current nightmare situation she and her colleagues are facing.

[MSF International @MSF]

#URGENT: Casualty numbers in besieged #EastGhouta #Syria are soaring beyond imagination. Our supported hospitals have seen more than 2,500 wounded and more than 520 dead after just 5 days of intense bombing and shelling #NOTATARGET https://t.co/CUsjvqtFcg

#Bangladesh: "Every day when we do follow-up care and a patient says that they no longer in pain or have a fever, we feel good because we have managed to control a bit more of the disease. https://t.co/0pUeUr0mhn #Rohingyacrisis #Rohingya #Myanmar @MSF

[MSF Afghanistan @MSF_Afghanistan]

After explosion today in #LashkarGah @MSF teams in #Boost Hospital received one dead body and treated ten wounded people, most of them children. All of them have already been discharged #Helmand #Afghanistan

Today we participated in Ryerson Health Promotion’s Student Health and Wellness Day! We talked to students about MSF and about we do on campus! #SHaW #fmsf #ryerson

[MSF International @MSF]

@MSF appalled and saddened by loss of almost a hundred lives yesterday in #KabulAttack. Ambulances are meant to save lives, not take them. Using them as a weapon increases the risk for patients and ambulance crews in the future #Afghanistan
