Programme Mgr with Unitaid working to improve access to commodities for HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB & HIV co-infections in LMICs. Thoughts are my own-Tweet & RT.

"Unitaid is the flint for the global health fire," said Unitaid NGO board member @SharonannLynch at the Unitaid Advocates Network launch. "We need to go further, farther, faster and Unitaid can get us there." #AIDS2024

Proud and honoured to witness this historic moment in Africa: the groundbreaking launch of the first mRNA hub that will be built in #Rwanda and help accelerate #VaccinEquity for our brothers and sisters across the continent!

À l’occasion de la 75ème Assemblée mondiale de la Santé (#WHA75), le Président @EmmanuelMacron a souligné la valeur d'Unitaid.

Unitaid tient à remercier la France🇫🇷, notre principal donateur, avec plus de 1,8 milliard d’euros de contributions depuis notre création.

Following a 2020 agreement between @Unitaid @ViiVHC @ViatrisInc & Macleods, the cost of pediatric DTG decreased by 75%. The first countries are now placing orders via the @MedsPatentPool, providing equitable access to the best HIV treatments for children. https://t.co/QnEt59V28R

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

Partners @CHAI_health, @GatesFoundation, @GlobalFund, @UKaid, @UNAIDS, @Unitaid & @USAID reduced the cost of adult HIV medication. This was the first time that a vastly improved drug was introduced at a lower price than the prevailing standard of care. https://t.co/ZQ2ellLneE

Today is HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day and marks the 40th anniversary of the 1st reported cases of AIDS in the US in 1981. Thankfully, HIV is no longer a death sentence. Read👇 how @Unitaid and partners helped to make this happen and what work remains to be done #AIDSat40

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

🎗️@Unitaid works closely with communities and partners to ensure those living with HIV are informed about available treatment options and have a voice in decisions that impact their lives. 🤝@afrocab_hiv @CHAI_health @Ezintsha @HIViBase @TAC @UTDCommunities @WHO. 📷: @CHAI_health

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

In partnership with @ViatrisInc @MylanNews @PSIimpact & @AtomoDiagnostic, @Unitaid has halved HIV self-tests costs and significantly expanded the market to help people in LMICs learn their HIV status, enabling them to get treatment and ultimately survive. https://t.co/hrEKyfL7T4

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

To reduce the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, @Unitaid funded @UoLDolphin2, a clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of a new #HIV treatment specifically in pregnant HIV+ women and their newborns. https://t.co/UDD7s0hSnb

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

Looking to the future, @Unitaid’s work on advanced HIV disease with @CHAI_health, @OmegaDiagnostic & @DNDi aims to reduce deaths from opportunistic infections (e.g. cryptococcal meningitis, TB & #HepC) through access to rapid tests & optimized treatments. https://t.co/NLftD7Un2W

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

Congratulations to our #UnitaidExplore recipients @EPFL_en, who were recently ranked among the world's leading universities!👏 @Unitaid is proud to have invested in @EssTechEPFL's Global O2 project, which has game-changing potential in the field of #oxygen delivery in LMICs.

[Dr Philippe Duneton @DrDuneton]

I am saddened to hear of the death of Celicia Serenata, Head of Treatment Access & Optimisation at @ezintsha. She was instrumental in implementing some of @Unitaid's most important work on HIV and a committed champion of those living with the disease. She will be greatly missed.

Happy to have joined the @elysee for this important discussion. To succeed against #COVID19, we need strong leadership to bring lifesaving tools at scale, ensuring vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics are made available for everyone, everywhere.

LIVE @WHO @DrMikeRyan says "we have all received death threats" and other hate mail because we are scientists, trying to work in a #pandemic in the "international space."
