The #StopTB partnership released a statement this morning saying #JohnsonAndJohnson has allowed them to produce generic #bedaquiline and make it available in most developing countries, even in those where the secondary patent is still in effect.

While J&J haven’t released their own statement yet, and this isn’t a complete dropping of their patent, this is a huge step forward in ending TB and deserves to be celebrated.

Ce matin j’étais avec @brigitte_liso@twitter.com et @philippejuvin@twitter.com pour échanger sur la lutte contre la tuberculose et le VIH en Ukraine. Merci Valeria Rachynska 100% Life 🇺🇦, Andrei Mosneaga #StopTB et Darren Dorkin #FondMondial pour la richesse de la discussion

So excited to share that the National TB Controllers Association / NTCA has generously put together a Giving Tuesday page for We Are TB so we can travel our survivors to the National TB Conference in Atlanta in June for advocacy training! Please consider donating/share! Every dollar will be cherished and used toward travel fees and pier diems for our advocates. #EndTB #StopTB #TBfreeUSA #WeAreTB #tuberculosis
