«Vaksiner virker gjennom flokkimmunitet. En vaksine forbeholdt de rike er derfor en ubrukelig vaksine, og ikke løsningen på pandemien vi lever under». Les innlegget vårt om en COVID-19 vaksine i Dagens Medisin! https://t.co/pf4juVepRB

Hvad driver grundforskningen på universiteterne? Har forskere et ansvar for senere lægemidler udviklet på baggrund af deres ideer? Vi har spurgt Anders Nykjær, Professor i Neuroscience ved Aarhus Universitet om hans syn på sagen https://t.co/hl9JlbzRtd.

High priced medicines are an issue for countries all around the world and result in millions of unnecessary deaths.

Even if you as an individual are privileged enough to never experience this issue first-hand, your country’s health system will certainly be feeling the strain.

[UAEM @uaem]

A key argument pharma companies use to defend their high medicine prices is that they need to recover R&D costs.

But did you know that a significant proportion of drugs wouldn’t exist without the support of publicly funded research?

#AccessToMedicinesWeek2019

[UAEM @uaem]

Today marks the first day of Access to Medicines Week 2019 in Europe! It’s going to be an amazing week full of student activism across the continent advocating for access to medicines worldwide.

The UK has isolated itself from almost every other country in the world by refusing to support a global agreement designed to reveal many of the secrets that keep medicine prices high. Their friends in big pharma will be very pleased. Patients, not so much https://t.co/RcYSSzh35f

.@WHO #TransparencyResolution adopted in plenary. #WHA72

[Katy Athersuch @Kathersuch]

Wow, Not only did the UK spend the past week seeking to undermine #WHA72 #TransparencyResolution to render it toothless, now they want to delay for a year... Outrageous!! @UKMissionGeneva @MattHancock

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

Tomorrow marks the end of the #TransparencyResolution negotiations at #WHA72

Will UK 🇬🇧 Germany 🇩🇪 Japan 🇯🇵 Switzerland 🇨🇭 and US 🇺🇸 stand for the interests of their people and healthcare systems? Or will they choose to protect big pharma’s lies over people’s health?

[UAEM Norge @UAEMNorge]

Hurra! Vi er glade for å se at Norge snakker om viktigheten av åpenhet på #WHA72 #transparencyResolution

[James Packard Love @jamie_love]

Norway calls for transparency of trial costs. #wha72

[Katy Athersuch @Kathersuch]

Portugal co-sponsors the #TransparencyResolution at #WHA72 - Stating that transparency on R&D costs is about respect for tax payers money and human rights!! #NoMoreSecrets

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

Big pharma uses undisclosed 🤫 research and development costs to justify sky-high prices for medicines.

Why do these countries 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇯���� 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 want pharma corporations to keep these costs a secret?

Danish Delegates pay extra close attention! @DKUNmisgva @EllenTraneNorby @DKsundhed @IMCC_DK @DKyouthdelegate #dksund #transparencyresolution

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

@jensspahn @GermanyUNGeneva @BMG_Bund @RegSprecher @AnjaKarliczek @JapanMissionGE @UKMissionGeneva @swiss_un One of the key arguments used by pharma to justify high prices is the cost of clinical trials. 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇯🇵 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 How can you justify keeping these costs secret when this leads to high price abuses that impede patient access? #TransparencyResolution #WHA72

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

Delegates at the #WHA72 PLEASE watch this video: https://t.co/ZlPRSi9vaj

It may seem absurd, but this is the reality of how drug pricing works.

The #TransparencyResolution can help governments get fairer prices so more people can get the treatments they need.

[Suerie Moon @SuerieMoon]

Myth 1 in #WHA72 #transparency debate: “Pharma can’t calculate R&D costs per drug – too hard!” US Senate to Gilead in 2014: how much did R&D for Hep C drug sofosbuvir cost? @GileadSciences : $943 million. (p.s. their Hep C revenue >$58 billion)

[Suerie Moon @SuerieMoon]

Myth 2 in #WHA72 debate: “#Transparency will raise drug prices in low-income countries (LICs). Rich countries won't accept them!” HIV and vaccine prices most transparent in world, tks to @WHO @GlobalFund + others. Price differentials betw US and LICs: sustained for years at >200x

[Sophie Gepp @sophie_gepp]

This is too important of an opportunity to let it pass by - if #Germany cares about #UHC it should support a strong resolution!

#Germany what’s with the stone-walling? Where’s that Unity and Justice and Freedom that you stand for? How about you actually practice those at the #WHA72 for #access2meds through the #TransparencyResolution
