What is the role of humanitarian organisations in economic wars?

Even war has rules. Yet the realm of economic wars and conflicts appears to be a lawless frontier where anything goes. Where are the safe zones? The truces? The peace treaties?

Improved medical tools for wealthy countries while people in lower and middle-class countries will only be offered human insulin in traditional forms. Corporates continue to play with lives of people. Would we ever see equity in healthcare in our lives?! https://t.co/OsPgAbtNEX

Last month we asked @gavi & @UNICEF to negotiate a more affordable price for the #mpox vaccine to ensure access for all. According to the vaccine's company @BavarianNordic, the lowest market price Gavi will pay is US$65 per dose. This is inexplicably high.

Today is International Snakebite Awareness Day

Each year, nearly 5.4 million people are bitten by snakes worldwide, resulting in over 80,000 deaths and leaving three times that number of survivors with disabilities

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

#Snakebite receives too little global attention despite the devastating effect it has on communities.
Snakebite victims face a combination of factors making them particularly vulnerable to this health crisis.
For #ISBAD2024, MSF’s @MattChevallier explores these 7👇

Really interesting testimony from Dr Paul Snape on #snakebite in South Sudan ahead of #ISBAD2024

We have seen this so many times. It is urgent to address the #snakebite crisis

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

“I’d never seen anything like it before: all the structure of the foot was gone, leaving only a dry shell.”

Dr Paul Snape recounts his experience treating children for #snakebite in South Sudan & notes the urgent need to address this crisis. #ISBAD2024

7. #snakebite victims are off the radar and live far from global decision makers

Who will carry snakebite victims' voice in Geneva, New York, Brussels or Berlin, where big global health decisions are still made?

[Matthieu Chevallier @MattChevallier]

Ahead of International Snakebite Awareness Day #ISBAD2024, I wanted to share my thoughts on the #snakebite deadly crisis.

If I have to summarise it in 7 words:

INEQUITY
INEQUITY
INEQUITY
INEQUITY
INEQUITY
INEQUITY
INEQUITY

7 bites of it.

6. #snakebite victims do not have support from international donors

Snakebite will never be eradicated and it is not a health security threat for donor countries. It is just not a funding priority.

[Spotlight on Corruption @EndCorruptionUK]

🆕 The UK is unique in using money from its aid budget to fund its domestic law enforcement agencies’ fight against the #corruption afflicting developing countries, but our latest report finds much more needs to be done given the vast scale of the problem. A thread:

.@WHO just set new guidelines for lifesaving #TB drug #delamanid use, but @Otsukanc & its licensee @ViatrisInc charge up to $1200 per 6-month course in low- & middle-income countries, when it could cost just $100👇
