Doctors Without Borders is closing down its access-to-medicines campaign in favor of a new effort focused on products for their own relief efforts. The decision was made to avoid duplication of work and unnecessary expenses. The organization plans to integrate campaign staffers into the new initiative, affecting up to 50 employees and consultants. The new structure will primarily focus on medicines and vaccines needed for their relief efforts. A strategic plan for the new initiative is still in progress. This change comes as a surprise to many, as the access-to-medicines campaign was credited with making essential drugs available to patients in low-income countries.
