Tuberculosis is curable, yet 1.6 million people die of tuberculosis every year while Danaher grossly overcharges for diagnostic tests for the people who can least afford it.

I'm not really active on any social media and this probably won't do much on tumblr but I am enraged that Danaher and Cepheid use a printer ink model to sell overpriced cartridges to test for TB and multi resistant drug TB causing many people to not getting treatment early enough and fucking die!

So drop those prices!!

TBFighters: Danaher, it's Time for $5

Fighting for accessible tuberculosis testing and treatment to save over a million lives a year. Take action now.

Hey all TB fighters has been pressuring Danaher(a publicly traded company) to lower the prices on its various tests for diseases. These tests make it possible to screen for diseases such as TB, HIV, Ebola, and many more. Unfortunately, they are extremely overpriced, which makes them very hard to access in lower income countries. A few months ago, TB fighters(and John Green) led an online campaign that successfully lowered the price of its MDR-TB test, but now they're pushing for the same thing on all of its tests. If you want to help, you can sign the petition below(also linked a video explaining why it'll work).
