Dear Friends, 

I am overwhelmed and outraged by these barbaric acts of terror in our city.  

We have reached out to all of the staff in our Paris headquarters and can confirm that everyone is safe and unharmed. 

As people who fight everyday to keep those who suffer from disease alive, we understand the value of life. The terrorists who perpetrated this senseless act place no value on life, no value on what we fight everyday to protect. 

My prayers and thoughts are with the victims and their families. 

José Luis Castro
