This week might be the last chance negotiators have to mitigate some of the potential devastation of the TPP. We ask government negotiators to protect access to medicines and fix the most damaging provisions in the TPP.” Thu, 23 Jul 2015 07:54:06 +0000 1b566682-7999-4a1d-a625-b43bd8b8b4bf https://www.medsf.org/msf-expands-sars-intervention-vietnam "MEDSF has a great deal of experience in the isolation of diseases, and our presence has been important for the local staff, many of whom are understandably apprehensive about treating this mysterious illness" - MEDSF spokesperson.

In addition, local administrations and governments have raised flooding on their emergency priorities and the response to developing situations is faster.
