In February 2013, MSF started rolling out an innovative approach called PMTCT B+ for HIV-positive pregnant and breastfeeding women. #

[Video] Webcast: The Fight for Affordable Treatment
The effort to provide the best available treatments for diseases throughout the world has frequently been hampered by various industry and government obstacles like patent laws and trade agreements that drive up prices for medications and protocols. Never was this more clear than in the late 1990s and early 2000s when millions of people infected with HIV in Africa and other developing areas were denied access to drugs benefitting patients in the West. The production and availability of generic versions of these medications revolutionized the nature of HIV/AIDS treatment and made it possible to treat millions of people. The...

[Slideshow] South Sudan: MSF Begins First Pneumococcal Vaccine Campaign in Yida Camp
Around 70,000 refugees have been registered in Yida camp in South Sudan's Unity State, nine miles from the border with Sudan, since 2011. Most have arrived after fleeing the violent conflict in Sudan's Nuba Mountains.
