Access to pathogens & genetic data must be subject to standard contracts that prevent intellectual property monopolies & mandate benefit sharing.
Prioritize Saving Lives, Not Monopolies in PABS Negotiations! #FairPABS
@swiss_un @SwissMFAStatSec @SpainUNGeneva @AustraliaUN_GVA
Life-saving vaccines, treatments & tests are developed using pathogen genetic data shared by developing countries.
Yet, the EU, Norway, Japan, Switzerland are against user registration, which is essential to deliver equitable access during health emergencies. #FairPABS
During COVID, wealthy countries got vaccines first while poorer countries were left waiting.
EU & Norway- stop obstructing the PABS negotiations with positions that undermine accountability and equity #FairPABS

40 años después, las mismas brechas siguen costando vidas. Es hora de actuar.

Casi 11 mil personas que viven con VIH en Panamá no están en tratamiento: 33 de cada 100.
Además, 5,595 de ellas ya conocen su diagnóstico y no han empezado. Y más de 10 de cada 100 personas en tratamiento nunca se han medido la carga viral.

“We need to find creative ways of communicating HIV messages. Comedy and relatable content can make conversations about HIV easier, especially among young people.”
We have an important role to play in breaking barriers & making HIV information accessible”

The campaign provided HIV and STI testing, health education, and condom distribution, with a focus on engaging young people. The Vice Mayor in charge of Social Affairs encouraged residents to take responsibility for their sexual health through regular testing and condom use.
80 years ago, the world recognized the right to share in scientific progress & its benefits.
Today, that principle is being tested at WHO.
No access to pathogen data without binding benefit sharing.
Developed countries must support a #fairPABS.

Companies patent the vaccines made from that data & sell them back at a price. No call, no credit, no vaccines.
Access and benefit-sharing must go together. Demand a #FairPABS

ALT Pathogen data flows out from developing countries under the pretext of "open science," without equitable benefit sharing and at the expense of lives in the global south. That is the ‘open science’ being defended by the EU, Norway, Japan & Switzerland in WHO. A #FairPABS needs user registration & data access agreements.

Ghosting isn't just a relationship problem. Affected countries share pathogen data when the world needs it. Companies patent the vaccines made from that data & sell them back at a price. No call, no credit, no vaccines. Access and benefit-sharing must go together. Demand a #FairPABS #WHO @WHO
