Never doubt that a room full of (TB) advocates can change the world. Because: YES, WE CAN.
Really pleased to be invited to this week's United in Advocacy to End TB meeting in #Istanbul organized by @stoptb#YesWeCan - Katy
We're bringing the expertise of communities to the table @GlobalFund Board Meeting - grateful to our allies in the Communities and 2x NGO Delegations for wearing our #CommunitiesAreExperts White Coats tat the table as the Board discusses critical issues. #PutPeopleFirst
🌍Africa CDC declared the Mpox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) enabling them coordinate action and mobilize resource to support a response.
⏰WHO experts meet tomorrow to review if it is also a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
The #GlobalAIDSUpdate2024 shows that people living with HIV and key populations are unevenly involved in shaping health policies, with young people underrepresented.
"Meaningful participation of young people at all levels of the HIV response is key" - Priscilla, @Yplus_Global👇
We welcome German Chancellor @OlafScholz 's reaffirmation of Germany's commitment to the @GlobalFund, at #AIDS2024. We hope this dedication continues through the 8th Replenishment and inspires other global stakeholders to join the fight. #AIDS2024#GlobalFund#8thReplenishment
Hon. Ruth Labode, former Zimbabwean MP, says young people should be their own key population. Young people having sex should have full access to sexual health services - and MPs must advocate for this.
Note that we ‘mind the (funding) gap’ in the HIV response too - @GFadvocates!
Don't miss out on this exciting session happening tomorrow. Mark your calendars and join us at our #AIDS2024 Booth AD09 to hear @SenooCecilia, @KatyKydd and @MichaelPodmore present the CSO perspectives on the future of the #LusakaAgenda.

Today treatment activists at #AIDS2024 protested @ViiVHC & @GSK_bio demanding they #DropTheCase challenging the compulsory license for DTG issued by the Colombian Gov. Their case prevents thousands of people living with HIV from accessing optimal treatment. @affordabledrugs
We're excited to be at #AIDS24 to formally launch as an advocates network. Unitaid Advocates Network is a new space for communities and civil society who are interested in and passionate about the role of Unitaid in the Global Health architecture. Global Village AD09.
The lack of funding for therapeutics, especially when compared to vaccines, has significantly hampered efforts to develop and ensure equitable access to COVID-19 treatments. It’s time to establish a #TherapeuticsCoalition to change this and prepare for future pandemics.
