Aid funding cuts are closing clinics in Sudan. That doesn't mean less patients. That means people are pushed to reach medical care further away, on more expensive and dangerous journeys.   It doesn't have to be this way. Sudan needs the world to act now, not later.

💭🌸 Alongside Tony Tony Chopper, I’m sharing what being a doctor means to me, talking about my dream, reflecting on my journey, and leaving a message for the younger generation. _  Follow the journey on msf.org/chopper © Eiichiro Oda / Shueisha © CHOPPER’s Friends © MSF  #MSFxCHOPPER

Have you heard of the new drug lenacapavir? It’s nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV. The problem: It’s not available everywhere, and it is far too expensive. Let’s change that: Two shots. $40. Everywhere.

During my visit to Darfur, Sudan, I met @MSF colleagues at Zalingei hospital, where drone strikes regularly occur just outside the walls. During mass casualty events, they work under intense pressure to save lives. The world must not look away from the conflict in Sudan.

I visited Zalingei Teaching hospital in Central Darfur, Sudan, earlier this month. The hospital had been bombed and looted and I was proud to see the work that our teams had achieved in restoring healthcare to people – something that should never have been lost.

Ten years after the UN Security Council adopted resolution 2286, reaffirming protection of medical facilities and personnel, attacks on healthcare still continue. That attacks still occur is a failure of political will.  msf.org/joint-call-icrc-who-…

10 years ago today, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2286. Over 80 Member States committed to protect medical humanitarian work. Yet @MSF is sharing the same message from 2016: 🔴 Stop bombing hospitals. 🔴 Stop bombing health workers. 🔴 Stop bombing patients.

Why Chopper? Why now? Because we believe in helping those in need of medical care, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or politics. This is something Chopper and @MSF share. Watch the journey begin by following: msf.org/ChopperJoinsMSF/   #MSFxCHOPPER

In 2014, I visited eastern DRC, where @MSF teams were treating sleeping sickness - the only available drug was so toxic it killed 1 in 20 patients. In 2026 I'm so proud that, thanks to @DNDi, patients can be cured with a single dose of a groundbreaking new oral drug, acoziborole.

Yesterday, I briefed the UN Security Council about the eastern region of the DRC. I urged the Council to find the will to insist that civilians are not expendable, and that their rights to safety and dignity are non-negotiable. Read my full address: msf.org/msf-briefs-unsc-stag…
