In 2014-6, the work of the Access Campaign will cover vaccines, tuberculosis, HIV, neglected tropical diseases, viral hepatitis, as well as broader ‘transversal issues’ on medical innovation, intellectual property and access to medical products.  The Access Campaign also responds to operational emergency needs of MSF as required e.g. working on the Ebola response.
