Time for $5
oktober 1 - december 31
The ‘Time for $5’ Campaign calls on US diagnostics corporation Cepheid, and its parent company Danaher, to drop the price of its lifesaving GeneXpert tests to US$5 a test, so that many more people can get fast, accurate disease diagnosis, and receive treatment right away.
The ‘Time for $5’ coalition is coordinated by MSF Access Campaign, Partners in Health and Treatment Action Group (TAG), together with more than 150 civil society organizations working to improve access to GeneXpert instruments and tests. Since 2019, we have been calling on Cepheid and Danaher to lower the price of GeneXpert tests to $5 (based on publicly available evidence of Cepheid’s cost of production of GeneXpert tests) per test for all diseases. You can take action now with us to urge Danaher and Cepheid to put people over profits and drop the price of ALL tests across diseases, including XDR-TB (the deadliest form of TB), HIV, hepatitis, Ebola and sexually transmitted infections. Together, we can make a difference to end corporate greed and ensure access to lifesaving tests for all! How can you help? 👇
