BREAKING: Latest #PandemicAgreement draft keeps #equity hopes alive - but defers key operational issues @PandemicAction @EU_UNGeneva @TheIndPanel @G2H2_Geneva @ThiruGeneva @nschwalbe healthpolicy-watch.news/breaking-lates…

.@WHO and partners went to Khan Younis yesterday to assess the health facilities there. The team described the destruction as "disproportionate to anything one can imagine". No building or road is intact, there is only rubble and dirt. Hostilities in the vicinity of a WHO warehouse have left it destroyed. Attacks and hostilities have left Nasser Medical Complex, Al-Amal and Al-Khair hospitals non-functional. These facilities have no oxygen supply, water, electricity or sewage system. The team saw that the Nasser Medical Complex warehouse - which supplies many hospitals in the south - was burning, and severely damaged. It is estimated that fire has destroyed the majority of supplies, including a substantial amount of essential medicines and medical and trauma supplies provided by WHO and partners. Until recently, Nasser was the backbone of the health system in the south of #Gaza. Al-Amal was one of the few hospitals offering services to mothers and children. Now they are mostly rubble. Hospital assets and equipment have been destroyed. Specialized medical devices, CT scanners, oxygen plants, generators and solar panels need to be assessed to determine if they can still function, once spare parts and engineering services become available. The team also visited Jordanian Field Hospital, which is minimally operational and receiving a limited number of patients, mostly walk-ins, and a few trauma patients. The once robust health system in Gaza is broken. WHO and partners stand ready to support reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts, but we need a ceasefire. Nothing else can bring a lasting and humane outcome.

At #wlpf2023 @WHO just announced plans to establish the Health Technology Access Pool #HTAP to replace THE Covid19 Technology Access Pool #CTAP @jamie_love @OnadaExpansiva @peoplesvaccine @MedsPatentPool

My latest piece (and my last for a while) is out. It tackles what we know about how climate change is going to impact infectious diseases around the world. It's also about communication, complexity and nuance. It's here (and a thread or two coming soon): science.org/content/articl…

We welcome today’s big price drop of #TB drug #bedaquiline, which resulted from generic competition, and finally brings the price closer to the estimated generic price of $0.50 per day.

#COVID19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP) has announced three new licensing agreements acquired through @MedsPatentPool to transfer know-how, materials and clinical data needed in different countries. Additional info from @WHO at who.int/news/item/29-0…
