This Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) special report highlights the top 10 stories of 2011 regarding access to essential medicines, according to MSF. The list includes the findings of the HPTN 052 clinical trial, which "show that providing people with HIV treatment early not only saves their lives but can reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others by 96 percent"; UNICEF's publishing of the prices it pays for vaccines; and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria's cancellation of Round 11 funding, among others (12/19).
