#TRIPS waiver discussion started 4 months ago @WTO. Even in the midst of a pandemic, many rich nations are using all possible tactics to slow down the process of reaching consensus on this game-changing proposal.
#HIV positive networks and civil society networks decided to take the matter in their hands today. Groups were out in India and South Africa to deliver letters to embassies of opposing countries to stop blocking this proposal https://twitter.com/PHMSA1/status/1356554534311591938?s=20
More than 150 organisations in South Africa signed on to these letters. https://www.msf.org.za/news-and-resources/publications/delivering-pledge-global-solidarity-wto-rules-and-global-covid-19?utm_source=Social&utm_medium=Online&utm_campaign=OnlineContentJan2021
