Paris Meeting on TB Point-of-Care Test Specifications
Despite the clear need for radically improved methods of diagnosing TB, little progress has been made for those providing TB care in resource limited, high burden countries. Specifically, R&D efforts have failed to target the area where need is greatest: the peripheral level of the health care system where the majority of patients are seen.

TB diagnostics meeting March 2009
The tests used today to detect tuberculosis are not good enough – but what should a new TB test look like exactly? On 17-18 March 2009, MSF brought together a number of doctors, lab workers, community activists and test developers to answer this question. MSF Access Campaign Director Dr. Tido von Schoen-Angerer talks us through what is needed in a new TB test and explains why we can’t settle for anything less.

MSF Workshop at the WTO on August 30th
Five years ago, the World Trade Organization came to an agreement, the so-called August 30th Decision, that was intended to increase access to affordable treatment for people in developing countries through the compulsory licensing of much needed medicines. The idea was to incentivise the production and export of generic medicines from countries able to produce medicines to countries where no such production capacity existed but where the medicines were needed.

World Health Assembly May 2008
Representatives from more than 150 countries are meeting in Geneva this week at the World Health Assembly. One of their tasks is to complete the work of the Intergovernmental Working Group on Innovation, Public Health and Intellectual Property (IGWG) on a deal both to increase access to medicines in developing countries and to reform a system of medical research and development that has failed to deliver new treatments to patients in the developing world. Access Campaign director, Dr Tido von Schoen-Angerer, says there's still a window of opportunity.
