MSF arrives in Konna, Mali, before it's too late - scrapbook #23
Welcome to the weekly round-up of MSF news. This week, we have been trying to gain access to the pivotal town of Konna, Mali. We achieved this yesterday. We have questioned the 'Decades of Vaccines Blueprint. And, you have until the end of the month to register for the Friends of MSF Fun Run!
In the News
- MSF has finally gained access to Konna, carrying out 166 consultations on our first day in the town. As the WHO Executive Board meets, we question the 'Decades of Vaccines' blueprint and, in Katanga, DRC, violence has erupted risking the lives of thousands.
As governments meet this week at WHO Executive Board to discuss a blueprint for the next 10 years of vaccines work, more work must be done to address the skyrocketing price of vaccines and lack of products designed with people in developing countries in mind. http://bit.ly/WQPffTOn the Blogs
