Do you care? @NACOINDIA#FightAIDS#WorldAIDSDay
@MSF Activism does not come from a bottle. It is fostered in trust independence and partnerships with civil society and those who live with the disease. The closure of #AccessCampaign is a wound in the heart of global south movements @dnpplus@affordabledrugs@HealthJusticeIn
Feeling Nostalgic n Proud: Exactly a decade ago, Novartis lost a case in Supreme Court of India where it had challenged Sec-3d of Indian Patent Law to be rendered unconstitutional when its secondary patent application for cancer drug was rejected in India. https://t.co/G2HJrvgzGT
Pre-grant opposition under Section 25(1) of the Indian Patent Act, 1970, has been one of the essential tools on our hands to challenge the attempts of patent ever-greening. Patient groups like @dnpplus@sankalptrust@CPAAIndia, CoNE Manipur, and humanitarian aid organization @MSF
UK is not mentioned directly here in India statement on #TRIPSwaiver, but they are certainly one of the main culprits of bullying tactics.
India: “The kind of fights… over one word here or there seem to suggest that this will continue through the 5 years”
@annietrev yesterday:
👏👏👏Glad to see India speak up against bullying by certain wealthy countries during #TRIPSWaiver negotiations. Also highlights that there seem to be almost no interest to include therapeutics and diagnostics so far for dealing with this pandemic https://t.co/RkliYrkFRw
We’re PISSED! Urine #TB LAM testing is simple, cheap, fast, non-invasive to test for TB in PLHIVs with low CD4 count.
@NACOINDIA A life is worth at least the $3.50 price of a LAM test.
Fluconazole pre-emptive therapy can prevent thousands of PLHIV from developing cryptococcal meningitis, the deadly brain fungus!
@NACOINDIA Ensure availability of the drug in all ART centers!
#FightAIDS#WorldAidsDay2021
Advanced HIV Disease = A technical name for AIDS! The mortality rate among people with advanced HIV disease is very high even with access to ART. @NACOINDIA#FightAIDS#WorldAIDSDay
@NACOINDIA must ensure access to the CrAg LFA test in all ART centers across the country to screen and prevent PLHIV from dying of Cryptococcal Meningitis! #FightAIDS#WorldAIDSDay
@NACOINDIA Cryptococcal Meningitis, a deadly brain fungus, accounts for 18% of total deaths among PLHIV. These can be easily prevented with timely screening with a basic antigen test or CrAg test. Yet access to CrAg test remains a distant dream for the community #WorldAIDSDay
