Patricia survived cryptococcal meningitis, but still lives with its consequences: the loss of her sight.
This disease is preventable & treatable, yet it remains one of the leading causes of death among people living with advanced HIV.

📌2.4m were never diagnosed.
📌Rapid tests take 30 minutes and cost $2.60.

As part of the Global Day of Action, in collaboration with the Stop TB Partnership, we're calling for stronger action to ensure that people at risk of TB can access faster, more accurate diagnosis because timely diagnosis saves lives and helps stop transmission.

A pandemic demands widespread equitable access to vaccines, medicines and diagnostics. COVID-19 showed us how far we are from delivering it.
Listen to Helen Clark, member of the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS and Pandemics and former Prime Minister of New Zealand, on why the rules governing intellectual property failed the world during COVID-19.
Ahead of next week’s HLM on PPPR, Member States must reaffirm a critical right: using TRIPS flexibilities to protect public health and expand access to medicines.

The authors of a new Perspective argue that increasing pandemic frequency and increasing economic inequality are creating a self-reinforcing cycle. What’s needed is therefore a new, inequality-informed approach to pandemic preparedness.
Read the Perspective “The Inequality–Pandemic Cycle — Rethinking Preparedness” by M.M. Kavanagh et al.: nej.md/4h4L0PK
ALT A quote from Perspective published in the New England Journal of Medicine reads as follows: "At subnational, national, and cross-national levels, we have found that greater economic inequality predicts worse pandemic outcomes.” The Perspective is titled "The Inequality–Pandemic Cycle — Rethinking Preparedness" and the authors are M.M. Kavanagh et al. for the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS, and Pandemics. The text is displayed on a simple white background with dark blue border. The NEJM identity sits at the bottom.
