New piece for @MSF_canada in @ccpa Monitor: "Penicillin the right prescription for Canada in pandemic agreement negotiations" monitormag.ca/articles/penic…
Research Ethics in Epidemics and Pandemics: A Casebook link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… - Open access! With co-editors @Susan_Bull_, @michaelethox, @joealiesq, Monique Jonas, Vasantha Muthuswamy, Carla Saenz, Teck Chuan Voo, @WrightKatharine, Jantina de Vries @SpringerNature @pahowho
As #PandemicAgreement negotiations continue... new piece on #TechTransfer, and an era when🇨🇦Canada took a leading role in disseminating a breakthrough medical technology. "Penicillin the right prescription for Canada in pandemic agreement negotiations" monitormag.ca/articles/penic…
Indeed, while coverage of very pricey new #RareDisease drugs has at least been part of the #pharmacare discussion, similarly small populations needing globally recognized #EssentialMedicines not sold in Canada for diseases like TB get ignored. As we wrote: policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/janu…

While there's some logic to it, I'm always leery this conception of "essential medicines" glosses over access to the many basic drugs on the WHO's List of #EssentialMedicines that aren't formally available in Canada in the first place, incl. for diseases like #tuberculosis.🇨🇦💊

Now that the requirement to include a health warning on individual cigarettes is coming into effect, it does appear that the folks behind it at least learned the crucial design lesson from a previous health messaging campaign:

This is an important step by our teams to share detailed information on the true cost of conducting clinical trials. Our results show it is significantly lower than what industry tells us to believe, in order to justify high drug prices.
Useful analysis re: "mutually agreed terms" in the current text of the pandemic agreement.

Reading new article "Availability of drugs for the treatment of multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant #tuberculosis in the World Health Organization European Region, October 2023". Access a problem in🇨🇦Canada too; only 3/8 of these TB drugs sold here. eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…
On #WorldIPDay, thinking about how, in response to #H5N1 concerns, Canada made Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) eligible for compulsory-license-for-export #TRIPS flexibilities, but how it never did the same for any COVID-19 product, despite hyping its domestic framework for doing so (#CAMR)
