Big Pharma is using Trump's tariffs to hold Europe hostage.

But this isn’t about tariffs — it’s about profits.

Europe needs to stand up to corporate blackmail.

🚨 PMA Statement on the #GlobalHealth Crisis 🚨

Trump & Musk’s cruel attack on #USAID threatens millions. The Global South cannot rely on broken aid promises—we demand fair funding, debt cancellation & South-South cooperation to protect public health.

Oxfam's statement at #INB13 today. The Pandemic Agreement currently negotiated at @WHO must include legal obligations for measures to ensure access to vax, tests, treatment relevant to outbreaks & pandemics , including sharing technology

“Developing countries are hesitant; one, because they don't have resources to implement such obligations [on prevention], and two, because the EU and other rich countries are not flexible in other matters,” said @piotrjankol.

#Pandemic treaty out of reach over pathogen access and benefit-sharing.

The dispute “highlights the tension between wealthy countries seeking to protect Big Pharma profits and poorer countries,” @Oxfam’s @piotrjankol told @Euractiv.

👏 Celebramos el apoyo de @sanidadgob a @UNAIDS.

‼️ Una herramienta clave para cambiar el curso de la pandemia de #VIH y prevenir nuevas infecciones va a ser el acceso a PrEP de acción prolongada, como el #lenacapavir...

... y para eso necesitamos precios asequibles.👇

[GHA EU @GHABrussels]

📢In a make or break moment for the access to medicines movement, we cannot afford to lose the expertise, leverage, and connections of @MSF_access.

[Joe Karp-Sawey @jkarpsawey.bsky.social @jkarpsawey]

I hope that @DrChristou understands that the closure of @MSF_access doesn't just cause "anxiety"

It guts the #AccessToMedicines movement

It makes it easier for pharma companies to deny drugs to people in the Global South

It means more people will die without the meds they need

[Oxfam EU @OxfamEU]

❓ Does the @EU_Commission represent public interest or private profits?

“The Commission (…) alignment with the position of the industry is really striking,” says @piotrjankol, our health policy advisor.

When people learn that publicly funded development banks are financing expensive elite private hospitals in the Global South that are exploiting, harming and even imprisoning patients, naturally they call for this funding to stop.

The problem is, too few people know!

Exciting update: We're thrilled to unveil our new name.

Many medicines, just like vaccines, are developed with public funding & research. They are the people’s medicines. Our coalition is being renamed the People’s Medicines Alliance, to better reflect the breadth of our work.

[Oxfam EU @OxfamEU]

.@GreensEFA MEPs wrote a letter to the @EIB calling on them to stop financing private hospitals.

@Oxfam's research revealed that people are being bankrupted as rich country institutions, like the EIB, pour development billions into private healthcare.

[Oxfam EU @OxfamEU]

🗣️ The world’s majority must keep speaking with one voice to change the global health system.

[Piotr Kolczyński @piotrjankol]

At @EU2024BE right now,
@NDentico speaking about misplacing public spending in health, referring to @Oxfam Sick Development report on how @EIB and other development institutions fund expensive for-profit hospitals in poor countries.
