Teva UK, the British arm of drug giant Teva Pharmaceuticals, was cut as a commercial partner by the Royal College of Nursing and will no longer serve as a sponsor of an upcoming event on migraine and headaches at the RCN’s headquarters in London.

Palestinian rights groups had pushed for the union to end its ties with Teva UK. In a statement, they described the decision as a “major breakthrough for grassroots healthcare organising and the international boycott, divestment and sanctions movement,” which aims to isolate Israel internationally.
