💥Historic news today!💥 #Trikafta (ETI) is the first CF treatment to be added to the @WHO ‘Essential Medicines List’. We’ve worked tirelessly with academics & allies to make this possible. This listing must translate into access for all. Govt’s & @VertexPharma must step up.

So many years of work behind today's decision #Trikafta is on the @WHO Essential Medicines List! Well done @VertexSaveUs @JustTreatment & all the advocates/medical professionals worldwide who contributed to this ground breaking achievement Now @VertexPharma - DROP YOUR PRICES
Just Treatment 💊@JustTreatment

🚨 BREAKING: @WHO adds #Trikafta to its Essential Medicines List – the first cystic fibrosis medicine ever included. This recognises what families have said all along: CF medicine is essential & lifesaving. Now @VertexPharma must drop patents, drop the price & deliver access.

@VertexSaveUs Infelizmente nenhuma mobilização de pacientes - por maior que seja - tem o mesmo efeito que a ameaça do licenciamento compulsório. Ele continua sendo imprescindível para garantir o acesso.

Great to be mentioned in this paper about access to CF modulators in Brazil, following our involvement there in 2022/3. We know threatening Vertex’s monopoly with compulsory licensing is the ONLY language they respond to = lower pricing. Read more: righttobreathe.net/post/cystic-fi… 🇧🇷

@VertexSaveUs @VertexPharma @CompComSA This is what keeps me up at night. How can there be miracle drug for those of us born with CF, yet the barrier to get it is $30,000 per month?!?! UNCONSCIONABLE

South African #cysticfibrosis patient JC speaks about about @VertexPharma’s inhumane & inequitable ‘access programme’ that means that only the privileged can access Trikafta, while he & the other 50% are left behind. The @CompComSA must re-open their investigation now. 😡

Today we’ve been @CompComSA to deliver a dossier of evidence showing that @VertexPharma has misled them & that 50% of CF patients in SA are still dying w/o access to #Trikafta. They must reopen their investigation into Vertex’s anti-competitive behaviour. No one left behind!

🚨@VertexPharma just hiked the price of its life-saving #cysticfibrosis drug Trikafta from $326,000 to $370,000 a year (a 7% increase). Whilst their execs will be counting dollars, the CF community will be counting lives slipping away. Vertex’s greed knows no bounds.

Nothing surprises us when it comes to the greed & inhumane behaviour of @VertexPharma. Children are dying w/o access to #Trikafta due to the unaffordable price. Vertex’s response - to INCREASE the price. That says everything about their utter disregard for CF patients 🤬

Amazing news from #Turkey today - CF patients aged 6+ will have access to #Trikafta. ❤️ BUT… Why did it take 6 years whilst @VertexPharma blocked efforts to access affordable alternatives? How many young lives were lost? 😞 And 000’s globally are still waiting 😡 #CFCantWait
