Today on #WorldDiabetesDay, we’re at @novonordisk offices in Johannesburg w/ a message: 📢Resume the supply of insulin pens in South Africa AND 📢DROP THE PRICE to $1/pen so ALL people living w/ #diabetes can manage their treatment. Insulin pens shouldn’t be a luxury!

Today is World Diabetes Day. May today mark the start of a significant move towards #equity in access to care. Let's start with insulin pens - which could profitably be made for $1 a pen @novonordisk @sanofi @EliLillyandCo

Today, on #WorldDiabetesDay, we are calling on @novonordisk, @sanofi, and @EliLillyandCo to take urgent action to increase access to diabetes medical tools in LMICs by immediately making insulin pen injection devices available at US$1 per pen (R17,81). msfsa.me/3YPLCOn

Why are insulin pens not available in most humanitarian settings? The prohibitively high costs charged by insulin manufacturers @EliLillyandCo, @novonordisk & @sanofi, despite the much lower estimated production cost of these pens.

Amina was also dealing with an abusive & violent husband. Fearing for her 3 young children’s lives, she decided to flee to safety. With little money & 2 insulin pens, Amina & her children journeyed to Turkey. There, Ehsen had to be hospitalised for over a month.

“It caused me great pain to inject my child [...] Many times, I cried before he did." When Amina’s* son Ehsen* was diagnosed with type 1 #diabetes, #insulin pens were not widely available in Iraq so she used vials & syringes. #diabetesOnTheMove msfaccess.org/my-journey-eur…

Most people w/ #diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries, where insulin pens are unaffordable. By #WorldDiabetesDay, @EliLillyandCo, @NovoNordisk & @Sanofi MUST sell them for $1 each! (psst...they cost $0.94 to make WITH space for profit 👀) msfaccess.org/ahead-world-di…

On 23 Sept, we wrote letters to @NovoNordisk, @Sanofi & @EliLillyandCo asking them to make lifesaving insulin pens available at $1/pen (which costs them $0.94 each to make, btw). Here's what we think of their responses🖍️ msfaccess.org/msf-comments-r…
