It happened this morning. At #WCC2026, our CEO @GNakigudde spoke at @MedsPatentPool Booth C30 on why community voices must shape access to cancer medicines. What we see in villages must shape global decisions. No access without community voice Proud to be part of this platform

The MPP session on from innovation to access: addressing barriers to cancer medicines in low- and middle-income countries is starting now (room S228) at #WCC2026 with Stella Bialous of @uicc providing opening remarks. Using the MPP–Novartis nilotinib licence as a case study, the session will explore how access mechanisms can turn oncology innovation into timely, affordable and sustainable patient access, with Indonesia illustrating progress in integrating CML care into the public health system. @SalomeMeyer1 @themaxfndn @PatGarciaGonzal @ymartei @UWOCASOfficial @GNakigudde @Cancer_ZA @GiuliaESSE

A powerful message to close today’s discussion: cancer innovation should be measured not only by what science can achieve, but by whether that innovation reaches the patients who need it. As MPP’s @GiuliaESSE highlighted in her closing remarks, voluntary licensing and partnerships can help turn innovation into access, but sustainable, equitable access requires all of us: governments, industry, communities, patient organisations and access partners working together around country needs. The takeaway: availability is not enough. Innovation must translate into affordable, sustainable and equitable access for patients. #CancerCare #AccessToMedicines #GlobalHealth #WCC2026 @PatGarciaGonzal @themaxfndn @GNakigudde @UWOCASOfficial @uicc @SalomeMeyer1

Thank you to all the inspiring speakers and participants who contributed to today’s important discussion. As this powerful group of women reminded us, advancing cancer innovation means working together to ensure that new solutions reach every patient who needs them: affordably, sustainably and equitably. We are grateful for your insights, leadership and commitment to turning innovation into access. #CancerCare #AccessToMedicines #GlobalHealth #WCC2026 @SalomeMeyer1 @themaxfndn @PatGarciaGonzal @ymartei @GiuliaESSE @GNakigudde @UWOCASOfficial @uicc

The 100 Days Mission seeks to deliver diagnostics, treatments & vaccines within 100 days of a pandemic threat. Today at #DevexUNGA81, our key partners @IPPSecretariat @DNDi @CEPIvaccines @UNITAID @MedsPatentPool discussed practical ways to turn that goal into readiness. #DiagnosisForAll

As we mark #WorldCMLDay, MPP is pleased to join @themaxfndn at the Max Global Experience in the Philippines 🇵🇭. The Philippines is among the countries beginning to benefit from MPP-enabled generic nilotinib through MPP's licence with Novartis. Partnerships matter because innovation only has impact when it reaches those who need it. 🔗 Nilotinib licence medicinespatentpool.org/lice… #WCMLD26 #CML #Cancer

Today, we join the global health community in mourning the passing of Paulo Roberto Teixeira, a pioneering public health leader, tireless advocate for human rights and universal access to treatment, and a founding board member of the Medicines Patent Pool. A central figure in #Brazil's response to HIV/AIDS, Paulo helped shape some of the principles that continue to guide the global fight against HIV today: the right to health, community engagement, access to prevention and treatment, and the conviction that scientific advances must reach everyone, regardless of where they live. He later brought this vision to the global stage through his work with @WHO and other international initiatives to expand access to antiretroviral therapy. MPP benefited greatly from Paulo's wisdom, leadership and unwavering commitment to health equity from our earliest days. His belief that access to medicines is a matter of dignity and social justice remains at the heart of our mission. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and the many people around the world whose lives were touched by his work. His legacy will continue to inspire the fight for equitable access to health technologies for all. gov.br/aids/pt-br/assuntos/n…
