“I lost my hearing when I was 24 because of the brutal side effect of an injected DR-TB drug,” said Nandita Venkatesan, who completed her treatment in 2015. “I was devastated by this loss, which took a heavy financial, emotional and mental toll on me. How many more people will have to die or go deaf, waiting to access safer and more effective drugs that can save their lives without such devastating side effects?" We are supporting a patent challenge filed in India by two tuberculosis survivors to prevent pharmaceutical corporation Johnson & Johnson (J&J) from extending its monopoly on the TB drug Bedaquiline. <a href='#' class = 'hashtags'>#MSF</a>#DoctorsWithoutBorders #TB#Tuberculosis #bedaquline#patentopposition #evergreening#monopoly #TBsurvivor #Mumbai #India#johnsonandjohnson

"It is the responsibility of armed parties, and not of unarmed humanitarian actors, to abide by international humanitarian law and take the necessary measures to ensure that medical facilities are not targeted. " On 11 June 2018, an airstrike hit our Cholera Treatment Centre in Abs, Yemen, destroying a patient ward and damaging an adjacent triage and observation ward.
