The Lancet "On June 25, 2024, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) announced that it was replacing its Access Campaign with a new structure that will start operating from next year. The announcement was met with uproar. As of July 1, an open letter urging MSF to reverse its decision had been signed by 155 organisations and 392 individuals, including high-profile figures such as Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, and Unni Karunakara, former International President of MSF."
