Breaking the cycle: Paediatric DR-TB detection, care and treatment in Tajikistan

The Tajik Ministry of Health and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) began a comprehensive paediatric tuberculosis (TB) care programme in 2011. The paediatric TB project in Dushanbe aims to decrease the TB morbidity and mortality rates among children and their family members. In 2013, MSF documented this, producing a report about improving paediatric TB care. 

This new report documents the progress made during the last five years, and reflects on the sustainability of the programme and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Malaysia’s compulsory licence for sofosbuvir is a positive step for public health and innovation

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Access Campaign wrote a letter of support to the Malaysian government commending the issuance of a government use licence to enable access to an affordable version of the hepatitis C drug sofosbuvir. The licence issued by Malaysia on 20 September 2017 eliminated patent barriers and has resulted in the scale-up of treatment in public hospitals throughout the country.

What good is a breakthrough medicine if the people who need it can't afford it?
